Semi-Healthy Nachos

February 2, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends!

I am about to share with you a late night snack that I’ve been having for months.  Not every night..but it is a great option for when cereal doesn’t sound so great.  My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

It is also an easy snack that could possibly be used for a major football game coming up as an appetizer, whatever football game that may be (Superbowl, maybe?).  I most likely won’t be watching said football game..I literally have no idea who is even playing.  The only reason I know it is even coming up is that I work at a sports bar.

When I think about it, a sports bar is not the greatest fit for me at all, but begging students can’t be choosers right?

Quick Turkey Nachos

Ingredients:

  • Whole grain scoops chips
  • Deli turkey (Yep.  Deli turkey.)
  • Mexican shredded cheese
  • Salsa or pico

How To:

  1. Lay out scoops on a plate.
  2. Shred turkey and put a little into each scoop.
  3. Cover with as much shredded cheese as you would like.
  4. Microwave 30 seconds.
  5. Scoop salsa into each scoop as you go!  
  6. Whole wheat + protein + dairy + veggies = awesome snack.

If you will excuse me, I must flee to the store to get the ingredients for these!

P.S. I will be hosting a Valentine’s recipe/project link-up later this week so be on the look-out!  I made some delightful raspberry cookies that I will also be sharing there!

*~Amanda aka Semi-Health Nut~*

Are you hosting a Superbowl party?  Or could you pretty much care less about the game like myself?

(I read in the book Will Write for Food that the best length of a blog post is 250 words.  This one is 275 excluding the words in these parenthesis…do you think this is a good length for a post?  It feels short but maybe I’ve been babbling too much all this time.)
