Healthy Fajita Nachos

The scoop

You don’t always think of Nachos as a healthy food. But I have mastered recreating my favorite dishes into more healthy versions. This dish was inspired by mycrazyblondlife blogger. I took her version (which is fabulous) and switched out a few of things to fit our tastes and healthy preferences and it turned out wow!

This dish has the flavor of chicken fajitas which we love. I substituted organic multigrain chips for corn chips, and Greek yogurt for sour cream and went light on the cheese to lighten the recipe up a bit.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Organic Chicken Breasts (split into 4 pieces)

  • 1 Green Pepper

  • 1 Red Pepper

  • 1 Pablano Pepper

  • 1 Jalepeno Pepper

  • 1 Yellow Onion

  • Olive Oil

  • Taco Seasoning

    I sliced every thing up in even sizes, tossed them in olive oil and sprinkled on the taco seasoning. Then put them in a 425 oven for 20 to 25 minutes.

    When done I chopped every thing into bite size pieces and put them in an iron skillet. Then topped with the following ingredients.

  • 1 can of Black Beans (rinsed and drained)

  • Black Olives (sliced)

  • Chopped Green Onion

  • Chopped Tomatoes

  • Shredded Cheese (Your choice, I used cheddar)

    Put it back into the over until cheese melts (5 to 10 minutes)

    When the cheese is melted add the rest of the ingredients.

  • Greek Yogurt

  • Cilantro

  • Surround with the chips!

We had this sitting in the living room at the coffee table while we watching the Super Bowl. It was a hit as was the game!
