INGREDIENT NOTES:
LOW-POINT BAKED TORTILLA CHIPS:
- Here, we will use the lighter version of the nacho chips. We will add low-point baked tortilla chips to your dish, so it gives you a crunchy bite. Also, these are not too heavy to eat. Use reduced-fat tortilla chips for another idea if you prefer.
LEAN GROUND TURKEY:
- Use lean ground turkey to keep your dish light because it is 99% lean. Your dish will not get too much fat from using this meat. Also, there are fewer calories in your recipe if you use this. Another idea for you can be extra-lean ground chicken.
SHRIMP:
- Another important ingredient in your recipe is the cooked shrimp. The calories are not much, and it gives a good flavor to your dish as well. Use white fish if you require something else.
LOW-SODIUM CAJUN SEASONING:
- This seasoning will give you the main flavor in your recipe. Your dish will become smoky, and you will feel a little spicy taste in your dish as well. You can mix black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika if you need another option.
LIGHT NACHO CHEESE SAUCE:
- Here, we will use this nacho sauce because it will make your dish creamy, and you will get the cheesy flavor as well. Also, we will use the lighter version of it so it does not make your recipe very heavy. You may also make it yourself if you want an alternative. Just mix 2 tbsp of salsa with a quarter cup of light cheese sauce.
FAT-FREE SHREDDED CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- Cheese will include the cheesy look and a cheesy flavor in your recipe. We will use the fat-free one, so it’s a lighter version for your dish. Use a small amount of reduced-fat mozzarella cheese if you need something else.
