Today's midweek mealtime is actually broken into 2 parts: this one
and this salsa. Said salsa is necessary for this recipe.
I love nachos. I usually make them fit into whatever meal plan I happen to be following at that moment, but I was a little concerned about the Shift Shop meal plan. After all, grain free meant no tortilla chips. At first, I just decided I could live without for three weeks. After all, three weeks is no big deal, right?
But then my mind wouldn't stop, and an idea began to emerge. What if I could get potatoes sliced thin enough to get crispy enough to use as my nachos? The rest would be easy to make work! So I did it, and I loved them. And - just because I could - I ate them 3 days in a row. Don't judge me, ok?
If you happen to be doing Shift Shop OR you are simply following a grain free lifestyle, these could really help you make that shift! And if you're not living grain free? Feel free to switch out the potatoes for tortilla chips!
Ingredients:
- 4 white potatoes, scrubbed and sliced thin on a mandoline
- 1 pound lean ground turkey or beef
- 1 large onion
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained (if in week 2 of Shift Shop, omit these)
- 1 cup salsa or your favorite store-bought brand
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese
- low fat Greek yogurt for topping
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line cookie sheets with foil; spray with cooking spray.
- Place potatoes in a single layer on cookie sheets; spray with cooking spray.
- Bake potatoes 20-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until brown and crispy. Keep a really close eye on potatoes from 20 minutes on - they get brown quickly!
- While potatoes are baking, brown meat and onion in a large skillet until crumbly. Drain any excess liquid.
- Add salsa and beans (if using), and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
- When potatoes are done, layer potatoes, meat and cheese on cookie sheet. Broil on high for 1-3 minutes until cheese is melted.
- Top with Greek yogurt as desired.
If you count containers on any of Beachbody's plans, 1/4 of this recipe is 2 yellows, 2 reds (if you use the Greek yogurt, 1 blue and 1/2 green.
