| | Scooper Nachos!
Many of you know, we try to be careful what fats we eat around our house. We love olive oil, canola oil, and flax seed oil (well...maybe not the taste, but the benefits of that one!). But other oils and fats we try to keep to a minimum. Like...no fried chips. For old people like me, it is easy to remember the days before tons of variety in low-fat foods. But now! So many fun and easy choices. We have really been enjoying baked Tostitos Scoops®. They only have 3g fat per ounce, thats about 14 chips! Since we love Mexican food, I thought I'd try these nachos for a bento. This is a great recipe for using leftovers, I know, because that's what I did!
Scoops® Nachos
Tostitos Baked Scoops
Pam Cooking Spray
Fat Free Refried Beans
Jalepeños, sliced...I didn't have any =(
Chopped tomatoes, drained
Queso Fresco
...Serve with
Avocado
Fat Free Sour Cream
Shredded Lettuce
Salsa
Spanish Rice
Pick out unbroken Scoops for your nachos, and place them on a baking pan. Spray lightly with Pam. This will help keep them a little crisper.
Heat the beans a little so they'll be easier to work with, the microwave is great for this. Place about a teaspoon of beans on each chip.
Top with a slice of jalapeño, and some chopped tomato. Try not to touch the chip with any liquid.
Using your fingers crumble some Queso Fresco on top of each nacho. This recipe only needed about 1 teaspoon of this wonderful cheese, about 1.75g fat. Place in 350º oven for about 20 minutes. Let cool before packing. These are great topped with shredded lettuce, chopped Avocado mixed with salsa, fat free sour cream, and served with Spanish Rice.
 Oh! AND...today is my one year Xanga birthday, and also my real birthday!! I turned 47 today, yay! I want to say how much I have truly appreciated the friends I've made here. Thank you for your friendship.
Love,
Sheri
