Ingredients

• 1/2 TBSP Olive Oil
• 1 Onion, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 lb. extra lean ground beef or ground turkey
• 3 TBSP Taco Seasoning
• 1 can Black Beans, drained
• 1 cup Salsa
• 2 cups Shredded Fat-Free or Reduced-Fat Cheese
• Other toppings to taste - I used tomatoes, fat free sour cream, and shredded lettuce

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large skillet, heat oil and add onion and garlic - saute for about 5 minutes until soft. Add meat and taco seasoning, cooking until meat is browned. Add beans and salsa. Mix well and cook to thicken.


Line the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with tortilla chips. Gently press down the chips to break into bite-sized pieces. Spread the meat mixture over the chips. Top with cheese. You could also add jalapenos or green chilies as well.

Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbling.
