Cooking Notes
Delicious! I made it with ground beef and no-salt-added beans and tomatoes, but otherwise did not use low-sodium ingredients. Easy, too! Next time I will just put the beans in with the cooked meat and put the chips on top, just under the cheese. The chips tended to get soggy under the meat, and the meat and beans get mixed together anyway.
I made this from stuff I had on hand, so I used ground beef instead of turkey, and jarred red peppers, and kidney beans instead of black, and jarred jalapeños. I strewed those across the top with the cheese. I also did not use no or low salt ingredients. It was yummy!
