Easy nacho skillet dinner

Dietician's Tip

Haven't tried soy? This recipe is a good start.

Use soy crumbles that are extra firm. Use vegan cheese to make this plant based.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups ground soy crumbles
  • 2 cups frozen corn
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 can (15 1/2 ounces) no-salt-added kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cans (8 ounces each) no-salt-added tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup slightly broken baked tortilla chips (about 1 ounce)
  • 3/4 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Place meatless ground crumbles, corn, chili powder, kidney beans, tomato sauce and water in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat.

Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Sprinkle with tortilla chips and cheese. Cover and let set for about 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
