Guiltless Gluten Free Nachos

Gluten Free Nachos

These Guiltless Gluten Free Nachos are not just for appetizers (although they’re great for that). They also make an amazing healthy Mexican lunch!

Made with ground turkey and brown rice tortilla chips, they are gluten free, if that’s what you’re looking for. Personally, I just like the taste and the crunch!

I even like them cold for a ready-to-eat or grab-and-go lunch. These low-cal turkey nachos are absolutely good enough to share, and are always a hit with friends! I've even made them for Super Bowl Sunday with great success.

Invented in 1943 in northern Mexico, nachos are a traditional Mexican food that are eaten as an appetizer or a snack. But I mean it when I say this Guiltless Gluten Free Nacho recipe makes a delicious, healthy lunch!

You want proof: These Gluten Free Nachos were one of the most requested lunches from my meal-prep clients for 14 years! And they have less than 400 calories per serving. So enjoy them guilt-free!

Of course, if you make any substitutions or additions, that calorie count changes. But adding our simple 3-ingredient guacamole is always a good idea!

Guiltless Gluten Free Nachos Recipe

Servings: 4
Ingredients
4 brown rice tortillas
1 olive oil spray
1 teaspoon Mexican seasoning
1 lb. lean ground turkey
1½ cups salsa
1 cup pinto beans
1 cup 2%-fat Mexican blend cheese, shredded
½ cup cilantro, chopped
½ cup green onions, chopped
½ cup jalapeños, sliced
½ cup sour cream, fat free

Instructions
1. The secret of this recipe is the chips. Take 4 brown rice tortillas and spray them with a touch of olive oil spray.
2. Dust them with any pre-made Mexican seasoning, or a mix of cumin, chili powder, and cayenne.
3. Cut the tortillas as if you were slicing a pizza into 8 pieces. Place the resulting triangles on a baking sheet, and bake at 375° for approximately 10 minutes.
4. While the chips are crisping, brown 16 oz. of lean ground turkey in a pan with ½ cup of your favorite salsa.
5. When chips are crisp, top with 1 cup of pinto beans.
6. Distribute the turkey evenly over the beans.
7. Cover turkey with 1 cup of shredded Mexican cheese made with 2% milk (you’ll find this cheese at almost any grocery store).
8. Top with chopped cilantro, green onions, and jalapeños.
9. Serve with salsa and fat-free sour cream.
10. Enjoy the flavors, crunch, and satisfaction of eating these guilt-free nachos!
