Cook time: 2-3 mins
Servings: 4 Loaded Nacho Plates
Ingredients
- 1 Lb Trifecta Pulled Pork
- 60 Chips or about 4.5 oz/132g Tortilla Chips
- 1 cup black beans, canned, drained
- 8 tablespoons tomato salsa
- 1 cup reduced-fat Mexican blend cheese
- 4 green onions, thinly chopped white and green parts
- 4 tablespoons Greek yogurt, low fat
- 2 tablespoons of lime juice, fresh
- Cilantro, roughly chopped
Tools
- Non-stick pan
Instructions
- Make the zesty greek yogurt crema by mixing the greek yogurt with fresh lime juice in a small bowl until a creamy consistency is achieved. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
- In 4 separate meal prep containers, place 1.15 oz or 33g of the tortilla chips, followed by 4 oz of the Trifecta pulled pork, ¼ cup of black beans, ¼ cup of low-fat Mexican-blend cheese, 2 tablespoons of tomato salsa, and a handful of chopped green onions and cilantro, along with 1 tablespoon of the zesty greek yogurt crema.
- Top the containers with their lids and store in the fridge for up to 4 days!
- If serving immediately, follow this entire process but make the loaded nachos in a parchment-lined sheet tray, briefly heat the pork before adding to the nachos, and melt the cheese in a broiler. Then top with the zesty crema and herbs. Enjoy
