Ingredients

  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 clove garlic (5 g)
  • ⅓ cup corn (50 g)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil (15 ml)
  • 3.5 oz lean ground beef (100 g)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (2 g)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin (1 g)
  • 1 pinch chili powder (1 g)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste (20 g)
  • 1 whole-wheat Lebanese flatbread
  • 3 tablespoons shredded 30+ cheese (20 g)
  • 1 tablespoon cottage cheese (20 g)
Whole-wheat flatbread adds fiber and keeps the nachos sturdy enough for all the toppings.

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Dice the pepper and carrot. Mince the garlic. Rinse and drain the corn.
  3. Heat half the oil in a pan. Add the beef, garlic, paprika, cumin, and chili powder. Cook 4 minutes.
  4. Add the pepper, carrot, tomato paste, and 2 tablespoons water. Simmer 5 minutes until the vegetables soften. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Cut the flatbread into wedges. Place on a parchment-lined sheet. Brush with the remaining oil. Season lightly. Bake about 4 minutes until crisp.
  6. Arrange the crisp flatbread in a small oven dish. Spoon the beef mixture over the top. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Return to the oven until melted.
  7. Serve warm and finish with cottage cheese.
FitChef Tip: 1. Add thinly sliced green onion for a clean, fresh finish. 2. Add sliced jalapeño if you want gentle heat without overpowering the dish.
