Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    Fresh roasted green chiles
    Lean ground buffalo
    Black beans
    Low fat cheddar or Colby cheese
    Garden of Eatin' blue corn tortilla chips

Tips

The fresh roasted green chiles stand out in this recipe. Blue corn chips provide extra protein and contain 0 sugar. Make this healthier by adding shredded romaine lettuce, chopped tomato, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and a slice of jalapeno for a kick.


Directions

Prepare roasted chiles by removing skin and seeds. Chop or hand shred into small pieces. Set aside. Cook ground buffalo over a medium heat then add green chiles and black beans. Cook a few more minutes until heated through. Serve in a eco-friendly paper cone or bowl by layering ingredients as follows: lightly crumbled tortilla chips, meat and bean mixture, top with shredded cheese.
