Good news! Nachos can be healthy! We've reduced the fat content by using low-fat sour cream and low-fat tasty cheese without compromising on flavour.




Ingredients
200 g corn tortilla, (5 tortillas)
1 3 second spray Always Fresh Olive Oil Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray
200 g canned tomatoes, or fresh
2 cup canned refried beans
1 sachet Old El Paso all varieties taco seasoning mix, (35g)
75 g reduced-fat tasty Cheese, grated
2 individual shallots, ends trimmed, thinly sliced
2 tbs low fat sour cream

Instructions
Preheat oven to 220°C. Spray tortillas with oil and set aside. Cut tortillas into bite size triangular pieces and place on a baking tray in a single layer. Bake for 6-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Take care not to burn, and set a timer.

While tortillas are cooking, combine tomato, beans and taco seasoning in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, then divide amongst 4 shallow bowls and sprinkle with cheese.
Place bowls under a preheated hot grill and cook until cheese has melted. Sprinkle with shallots, then serve surrounded with tortillas and a dollop of sour cream.

Notes
Any leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Try it as a filling in a toasted sandwich for a super easy lunch
