New eBook! FOR YOU – PREGNANCY 2nd/3rd Trimester

My cravings have been very different this pregnancy compared to my first with the twins! However, the one similar craving I have had is NACHOS! I don't mind this one bit because it's a dish you can make semi-healthy and guilt-free! If you have been following my page for a while now then you know I like to make dishes that are simple, easy to make with toddlers playing around me, and that is cost-effective! Ingredients: Taco seasoning - I used one packet of store-bought taco seasoning 1 pound ground beef - you can always swap this out for ground turkey! 1/2 yellow onion diced 2 bags of tortilla chips - I used blue corn chips for our nachos! 1 can of refried beans 16 ounces of shredded cheese - I used Cheddar and Monterey jack! 2 to 3 green onions sliced Instructions: Preheat the oven at 400 degrees. Meanwhile, on the stovetop, brown the ground beef and diced onions over medium-high heat until fully cooked (about 7 minutes) and drain. Return the beef to the pan, and sprinkle on the taco seasoning. Stir in 3/4 cup water, bring it to a simmer, reduce heat and simmer until the liquid mostly evaporates about 5 minutes. While the beef is cooking, add a generous layer of chips to two baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Spoon on refried beans, half on each pan. These are thick, but I just add spoon fulls all over the chips. (The spoon fulls will spread with the heat of the oven.) Spoon on half the ground beef to each pan of chips. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, and sprinkle on diced tomatoes and green onions. Enjoy these with your loved ones...or keep them all to yourself (:   Happy Friday my friends! Stay Lively!
