Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Servings: 6 Calories: 426


Ingredients

Fat Head Tortilla Chips

  • 170 g pre-shredded/grated mozzarella
  • 85 g almond meal/flour
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 egg
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp coriander/cilantro powder
  • pinch chili powder

Nacho Meat Sauce

  • 1 red onion diced
  • 500 g ground/minced beef
  • 400 g tinned/canned tomatoes diced
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder, or to taste
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste

Topping Options
  • guacamole
  • salsa
  • shredded/grated cheese
  • sour cream
  • jalapeños


Instructions

Nacho Meat Sauce

  1. Gently fry the diced onion in oil until clear then add the meat, breaking it up into tiny pieces as it cooks and browns. This should take up to 5 minutes.
  2. Add the spices and tinned/canned tomato and tomato paste. Stir then simmer on a low heat for 15 minutes (uncovered to thicken the meat sauce) whilst you make the Fat Head tortilla chips and toppings.

Fat Head Tortilla Chips

  1. Mix the shredded/grated cheese and almond flour/meal in a microwaveable bowl. Add the cream cheese. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute.
  2. Stir then microwave on HIGH for another 30 seconds. Remove and stir again. Add the egg, salt, and spices. Mix.
  3. Place the Fat Head pastry between 2 pieces of baking parchment/paper and roll into a thin, rectangle. Remove the top baking paper/parchment. 
  4. Slide the baking paper/parchment with the Fat Head pastry, on a baking tray (cookie tray) or pizza stone, and bake at 425F for 12-15 minutes, or until browned on the top. Flip the FatHead pastry over (onto baking paper/parchment) and brown the other side.
  5. Once cooked, remove from the oven and cut into tortilla chip triangle shapes.  Bake again at 425F for 3-5 minutes.

Putting It All Together

  1. Place a handful of Fat Head tortilla chips on a plate or serving dish.
  2. Spoon the hot meat sauce over the tortilla chips.
  3. Add the grated/shredded cheese which will melt on the hot meat sauce all by itself, then top with everything you love.

    Recipe Thursday: Fall Detox Vegetable Soup

    Image
    I am a Boston girl born and raised but honestly I am cold more often than not. For that reason as soon as summer ends I start to get sad and panic about how I am going to keep myself warm all winter. One way that works for me is to make a lot of warm soups so that I can warm myself up from the inside out!  When I posted the choices for this week's Recipe Thursday , the concern over the word "detox" was thoroughly entertaining. Trust me, I get it. In the past, the word detox meant spending an entire day in the....well you get the point. As I came to learn more about nutrition I began to understand that "detox" does not mean that you will not be able to leave your house for days, all it means is that you are cleansing your body of toxins in a healthy way.  I kid, I kid...my point is that the Fall Vegetable Detox Soup was the winner this week and eating it does not mean that you will have to cancel your plans for the day. I found this soup reci

    What a Day of Meals Looks Like on the 3-Day Refresh.

    Image
    The 3-Day Refresh Cleanse came out last week, and I am sure you are all wondering what a day of meals would look like if you were to do this cleanse. I have decided to put this post together so that I can simply show you how the cleanse will go day by day.  Day 1-  (Upon waking drink 8-10 oz. of filtered water.) Breakfast(within 1 hour of waking): Shakeology blended in 1 1/4 cups filtered water. Plus 1 serving from the fruit list. I chose half of a banana and actually added it into my shake. I added ice, and cinnamon which is on the guilt-free flavorings list that they provide us. I made it the same way all 3 days. Optional: Morning Tea (at least one hour after breakfast) 1 cup unsweetened herbal or green tea. (stevia sweetener allowed) I chose not to do this because I was fine drinking my water.  Mid-Morning(at least 1 hour after morning tea): Fiber Sweep (digestive health drink) mixed in 1 cup filtered water. The first day I did not add enough
