Burrito Nachos

     Sometimes, when we eat Mexican inspired dishes at home, I feel like they are very heavy or salty or greasy. Not that I don't love the taste, but I do try to eat such foods in moderation. This recipe, adapted from The Biggest Loser, is a perfect compromise, and it's delicious too! In the cookbook, this is served as a tortilla free burrito. I feel like I need to have some kind of carbs at every meal, so I served mine with baked tortilla chips.

1-lb ground turkey
1/4 of medium yellow onion, chopped
1 c diced bell pepper
1 Tbl chili powder
1tsp cumin
1 tsp mustard
1 tsp oregano
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
10oz frozen chopped spinach
baked tortilla chips
shredded cheese
  • Simmer turkey onion and bell pepper until cooked through. Drain and return to pan.
  • Add spices and stir well.
  • Stir in beans and spinach. Cook until heated through.
  • Top with shredded cheese and serve with tortilla chips
