Recipe: Football Nachos (Vegetarian.. or not)

There's something about sitting around watching football that makes me want to eat... (and eat and eat and eat.)  Usually, I'm craving chips and salsa or nachos piled high with all sorts of goodness.  Unfortunately, if I were to grab a bag of tortilla chips, dump them on a plate with tons of cheese and salsa and meat and beans and sour cream, I'd have to run a half marathon to burn it off.  So, I've come up with a satisfying plate of nachos that you can serve up for game day.  You don't even have to tell people that they're meatless because they won't even notice.  (My poor husband has been subject to the ol' meat switcheroo countless times and hasn't seemed to notice.)

The recipe below makes 6 servings, and is only 5 Points Plus!  Woo!  If you accidentally eat the whole thing by yourself, you're looking at 29 Points Plus. 

If you're really grossed out by the thought of the soy crumbles in place of ground beef, try substituting with ground chicken or turkey, or 93% or higher lean beef.

Ingredients

	4 oz meatless soy crumbles (These are the ones that are a ground beef substitute.  I prefer Boca - once you cook it up with the taco seasoning, you can't even tell that it's not ground beef)
	2 Tbsp reduced-sodium taco seasoning
	1 large fresh tomato(es), coarsely chopped
	2 cup(s) Iceberg lettuce, shredded
	1/2 cup(s) shredded reduced-fat Mexican-style cheese
	1/2 cup(s) fat free salsa
	1 medium jalapeño pepper(s), coarsely chopped
	1 Tbsp fat-free sour cream
	2 serving(s) Joan of Arc Chili Beans, Spicy
	4 oz Tostitos Baked! Tortilla Chips, Scoops    Pre-heat the oven to 375.  In a skillet, cook the soy crumbles, jalapenos, and chili beans as you would taco meat.  If you feel like chopping up an onion and some garlic, add that to the mixture as well.  Add the taco seasoning as directed like you would if you were making tacos.  On a baking sheet, spread the tortilla chips out and top with the 'meat', jalapeno, and bean mixture. Sprinkle the cheese all over the top, and place in the oven until cheese is melted. Once the cheese is melted, top the nachos with the lettuce, tomato, salsa, and sour cream.  If you feel like dousing it with hot sauce like I would, go for it.  Usually, the hot sauces I use (like Cholula) are 0 calories.
