Just try not to eat it all as you go…Nik’s stealthy sneaky-food-grabbing Ninja moves keep mom on her toes! Hii-yah!
Nik’s Baked Nachos
40 or so baked tortilla chips (this is a great place to go organic!)
1 cup drained black beans
1 lb ground turkey
1 taco seasoning packet
½ cup salsa or taco sauce
2 cups reduced fat cheddar cheese
½ cup black olives–sliced
1 diced avocado
2 diced roma tomatoes
Shredded lettuce
Fat free sour cream
Sliced lime, if desired
Preheat oven to 350° degrees. Spray cooking spray on a 9×13 pan or deep cookie sheet. Set aside. Brown turkey (kids, let the adults handle this part!), and follow instructions on seasoning packet to season the turkey well. Spread out the tortilla chips in a single layer. Top with turkey, beans, olives, and cheese. Bake just until cheese is melted, approximately 5 minutes. Get all the toppings ready while the nachos are getting cheesy and gooey in the oven. Serve nachos immediately and top with preferred toppings. Turn dinner into a nacho bar to put a festive spin on it!
Ninjas, EAT!

These nachos look delicious! I'm always looking for healthy and tasty recipes. Speaking of which, I recently needed to remove a watermark from a photo, and I found a great tool called Watermark Remover that worked perfectly. Maybe the site could use a watermark remover too, just a thought!
Getting kids to help cook is such a smart move — they'll actually want to eat it if they helped make it! Makes me think about how nutrition is about more than just numbers. Actually, you might even see mmol/l to mg/dl come up when you're tracking how foods affect your blood sugar. These nachos look like a perfect way to get kids excited about healthy eating!
I appreciate the depth of research and clarity in your writing. The way you presented complex information so simply is remarkable. sprunki shifted
Things are going to get in the way of what you want to do. It's their job to keep you from taking steps forward. That is when melon playground the thing that gets in the way isn't moving.
