Taco Chip Ole   
      An Easy to Assemble Finger Food Dish
    The challenge is to improve the nutritional quality of a familiar favorite dish. First, the fat content is lowered (26% to 31% of total calories) and the dish nutritionally enhanced by using browned seasoned Ground Turkey instead of beef. Note: Refried beans can also be substituted for the meat sauce.

    It is then mixed in a tomato based sauce. Fresh tomatoes and shredded lettuce add vegetable variety and color over the low fat baked chips. Cheddar cheese and olives make it even more inviting. A yogurt blended sour cream cuts the fat level of the topping without losing the creamy texture that counters the salsa burn (if you choose to take your version south of the border.)
