💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

shredded cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast adds flavor without dairy

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (about 150 degrees Celsius).

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium-high heat.

Add 500 grams of ground beef and cook until browned.

Once the meat is cooked through, add a 420 gram tin of Mexican beans and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.

Next, add 140 to 210 grams of pasta sauce to the pan and mix until combined.

Simmer until everything is cooked through.

Arrange tortilla chips on an oven-proof plate or baking tray.

Spoon the nacho mix on top of the tortilla chips.

Cover with a layer of grated cheese.

Place in the oven with the door slightly ajar until the cheese is melted.

Add your favorite toppings like sour cream, salsa, or guacamole and serve.
