Chili-Cheese Nachos

Make nachos a healthy dinner when you top them with an easy 30-minute chili. Serve this healthy recipe with sliced scallions, avocado, fresh tomatoes and sour cream, if desired.

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef

¾ cup finely chopped white onion

½ cup finely chopped red bell pepper

4 cloves garlic, chopped

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 tablespoon ground cumin

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes

¼ cup water

8 ounces tortilla chips

2 cups shredded cheese, such as Cheddar or pepper Jack.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cook beef, onion, bell pepper and garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat, crumbling the beef with a spatula, until the meat is browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in chili powder, cumin, oregano and coriander; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add tomatoes (with their juice) and water and simmer for 5 minutes.

Top chips with the chili and cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 7 minutes.

Tips
To make ahead: Refrigerate chili (Step 2) for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
