Stacy's Lowfat Nachos

FIESTA? I really love Nachos but it's always difficult to get ones that aren't loaded with cheese and beef. And since I'm not crazy about either I decided to make my own low-fat nachos. It was pretty simple. The only thing I realized was I could have had more veggies and less chips. But who am I kidding? What's nachos without chips. This was the best thing I've made in a while.

First I heated the Mushroom Patty in the microwave for about 2 minutes, cut it up and let it cool
Then I put chips in the bowl, put the cheese on top, with the beans and put it the microwave to melt for about 2 minutes.
Then I added the veggies and salsa.

YUMMY.

1c of Santinos Tortilla Chips
2 pinches of part-skim Sargento shredded Cheese
4 grape tomatoes
a handful of Spinach
1 Portabella Mushroom Patty
1 tbsp of salsa
2 tbsp of black and pinto beans

The chips do have alot of calories, about 130cals for 1oz but I made sure to go easy on them as well as the cheese. I had veggies, and a low-fat veggie patty! I'm satisfied, because I ate what I wanted and made sure to make it healthy. YES. In a couple of hours I'm going to run along the Hudson River, I did it last night even though it was raining, and it was amazing. Hopefully later I can make some lowfat banana bread....yum.
