300 Calorie Nachos

I LOVE NACHOS!



They are my Achilles heel; they are my Kryptonite! Here is a 300 calorie version that is small but satisfying.



1 oz Tostitos brand light chips (12 chips) (90 cal)

1 oz Reduced Fat cheddar cheese (80 cal)

1 med tomato (25 cal)

2 oz Avocado (50 cal)

2 tbsp of non-fat sour cream (30 cal)

1/4 of small onion (20 cal)

garlic

lemon or lime juice

paprika



How To:



1. grate the cheese

2. mash up the avocado

3. dice the tomato and the onion

4. mix up half of the tomato and the diced onion with the avocado, add garlic, lemon juice, and paprika to taste (hey, you just made guacamole!)

4. put the chips in the bowl and sprinkle the cheese on top

5. microwave on high for 30-60 seconds or until the cheese is melted (you can also bake in a 400 degree oven for a few minutes).

6. put the avocado mixture on top of the melted cheese garnish with the sour cream and the remaining tomato.



Notes:



Okay-the twelve chips barely cuts it--so I eat it with a fork. You can also drop out the guacamole and add 1/4 cup of refried beans for roughly the same number of calories. The important thing is you get that yummy nacho taste!



The tomato counts as one serving of veggie, the avocado has good fats in it, plus you get protein from the cheese. This is isn't the healthiest thing you can eat, but it does have some redeeming value in there.
