by

To make this WW Beef Nachos Supreme, lean ground beef, baked tortilla chips, reduced-fat cheese, and toppings like tomatoes and lettuce are used.

INGREDIENT NOTES

Ground beef:

  • Use extra-lean beef for fewer points. It still has a nice flavor when properly seasoned. Cooking it with onion and garlic builds depth.

Taco seasoning:

  • Low-sodium seasoning keeps the flavor intense while reducing salt. Oregano, paprika, cumin, and chili powder can also be used to produce your own.

Baked tortilla chips:

  • Baked tortilla chips are lighter than fried chips, yet still crunchy. They hold up well when topped.

Cheddar and mozzarella:

  • Reduced-fat cheeses melt smoothly and give that gooey nacho pull. Mixing two kinds adds depth.

Lettuce:

  • Tender and refreshing. Adds flavor and size to the nachos.

Greek Yogurt or sour cream:

  • Greek Yogurt has a creamy texture and is rich in protein, or you can also use fat-free sour cream.

Jalapeño:

  • Provides spiciness and flavour intensity. Very thinly sliced to provide a little bite.

Cilantro:

  • A fresh culinary experience that harmonizes tastes. Add on top of the mix before serving.

Lime wedges:

  • A lime wedge tames the richness and freshens the meal.
