Ingredients
  

Chips
  • 12 corn tortillas 6-inch, cut into 6 wedges each
  • olive oil spray
  • salt a pinch
Beef and beans
  • 1 lb lean ground beef 93% lean
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning or 2 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp smoked paprika, salt
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 15 oz canned black beans 1 can, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup reduced-fat Mexican shredded cheese
Toppings
  • 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt mixed with 1 tsp lime juice and a pinch of salt
  • 1 ripe avocado mashed with lime juice and salt
  • 2 tomatoes diced
  • 1/2 red onion finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño sliced, or pickled jalapeños
  • fresh cilantro and green onions chopped

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the tortilla wedges on a large baking sheet, spray lightly with oil, sprinkle with salt and bake for 8–10 minutes, until crisp and golden. Turn them halfway.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat for 6–7 minutes, breaking it up. Add the taco seasoning and water and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in the black beans.
  3. Mix the tomatoes, red onion, half the jalapeño and some cilantro to make a quick pico de gallo.
  4. Spoon the beef and beans evenly over the baked chips and top with the cheese. Bake for 5–7 minutes, until the cheese melts.
  5. Top with the pico de gallo, guacamole, Greek yogurt, remaining jalapeño and green onions. Serve right away.
