Doritos Locos Nachos.

When most people heard of the Doriots Locos Tacos from Taco Bell, they were like this:



When I heard about the Doroits Locos Tacos, I was like this:



I wish I was kidding when I say I immediately went out and tried this GENIUS invention. After I devoured a Doritos Locos Taco and all its glory (and then another...woopsie) I could not believe I'd never had the pleasure of tasting such a masterpiece. I kept thinking, "Why have I never made nachos with Doritos?!?!?!?!!!" So obviously, I had to change that.

One Doritos Locos Taco Supreme (with lettuce, tomato, cheese, and sour cream) is 200 calories. Okay, not bad right? WRONG! Have you ever just eaten a single taco from taco bell? Because I haven't. Its like eating three potato chips and saying, "Close the bag, I'm done." It. Just. Doesn't. Happen. I could probably crush at least three Doritos Locos Tacos Supreme in one sitting, without thinking twice about it - so that's more like 600 calories. Instead of doing that and feeling terrible about yourself for the rest of the day, for just 360 calories you can eat an entire plate of Skinny Doritos Locos Nachos!!

What you need...

• 1 oz (about 12 chips) Baked Doritos


• 40z lean ground turkey


• 1/4 cup water


• 1 1/2 tbsp less-sodium taco seasoning


• Shredded lettuce


• Salsa


• 2 tbsp fat free sour cream


• 1/4 cup Sargento Shredded Reduced Fat 4 Cheese Mexican Cheese

How you make them...

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the turkey - cook until browned. Stir in 1/4 cup water and taco seasoning; bring to a simmer. Remove from heat.



Turn oven on to a Lo Broil - this is important, if the temperature is too high you'll burn your chips almost immediately (found this out the hard way). Place 1oz of Doritos on a baking sheet. (I actually weighed 1oz of Doritos and it ended up being 12 chips.) Using all 4oz, top each chip with a spoonful of ground turkey and cover with evenly with 1/4 cup cheese.



Place in the oven and watch carefully - the cheese will melt quickly. Once melted, remove from the oven and transfer to a plate.



Cover each Dorito nacho with lettuce.



Then add a layer of salsa.



And finally, top with fat free sour cream. Be sure to measure out two tablespoons and divide it up evenly - its really easy to get carried away with the sour cream and you end up consuming extra, unnecessary calories. And there you have it - Skinny Doritos Locos Nachos! 

They were everything I hoped and dreamed they would be. While my boyfriend and I were grubbing on them, he looked at me and said, "You've made me happy! You know you're going to have to make these again, right?" Haha, I think those comments say it all. K, byeeee!
