| Assemble Sauce Ingredients |
The challenge is to improve the nutritional
quality of a familiar favorite dish. First, the fat
content is lowered (26% to 31% of total calories) and the dish nutritionally
enhanced by using browned seasoned Ground Turkey instead of
beef. It is then mixed in a tomato based sauce. Fresh tomatoes and
shredded
lettuce add vegetable variety and color over the low fat baked chips. Cheddar
cheese and olives make it even more inviting. A yogurt blended sour cream cuts
the fat level of the topping without losing the creamy texture that counters the
salsa burn (if you choose to take your version south of the border.) |
