Serves: 2–3
Syns: ~4 Syns per serving (using tortilla chips), or much lower with SW swaps
Ingredients
- 6 reduced-fat tortilla wraps (use 2 for this recipe – 6 Syns each, or count as HEB if wholemeal)
- 200g extra-lean minced beef or chicken (Syn-free)
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tin chopped tomatoes
- 1 tbsp tomato purée
- 1 tin kidney beans or black beans (Syn-free)
- 40g reduced-fat cheddar (1 Healthy Extra A)
- Low-calorie cooking spray
- Salt & pepper
Toppings (optional):
- Fat-free Greek yogurt (Syn-free)
- Jalapeños (Syn-free)
- Salsa (Syn-free if homemade)
- Fresh coriander
Method
- Make the nacho chips: Preheat oven to 180°C. Cut wraps into triangles, spray with low-calorie spray, season with paprika/salt, and bake for 8–10 minutes until crisp.
- Cook mince: Spray a frying pan with low-calorie spray, fry onion and garlic until softened. Add mince, cook until browned.
- Stir in spices, chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, beans, salt, and pepper. Simmer 10–15 minutes until thickened.
- Assemble: Place baked tortilla chips on an ovenproof dish. Top with mince mixture, sprinkle over cheese, and bake for 5 minutes until melted.
- Serve: Add yogurt, salsa, and jalapeños on top.
Slimming Options
- Use homemade potato or sweet potato wedges instead of tortilla chips (Syn-free).
