Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey 93% lean
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 15 ounces black beans canned, drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups whole wheat tortilla chips
  • 1 1/2 cup Mexican blend cheese shredded
  • 1 cup lettuce shredded
  • 1/2 cup salsa

Creamy Jalepeno Sauce

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt plain
  • 1/2 avocado skin and pit removed
  • 1 jalapeno stem and seeds removed
  • 3 tablespoons fresh dill stems removed
  • 3 tablespoons fresh chives
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit on the broil setting.
  • Heat a medium skillet on the stove. Once hot, add lean ground turkey and taco seasoning.
  • Cook for about 8 minutes or until all of the pink has been cooked out, breaking up into chunks. When there is one minute left, add the black beans and let them get warm.
  • Meanwhile, spread the tortilla chips in an even layer over a large, tin-foil-lined baking sheet. Top with the cooked turkey and black bean mixture, then sprinkle with cheese.
  • Place in the oven and broil for about 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is a bit bubbly.
  • While the nachos are in the oven, add all of the creamy jalapeno ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside.
  • Once done, remove from oven. Spread the other toppings including the shredded lettuce and salsa over top. Then, drizzle or serve with the creamy jalapeno sauce.
