Nachos you don't have to feel bad about!

Here is my low carb, low fat, high protein spin on Nachos.  As always feel free to experiment with your own toppings, proteins etc.  All recipes are open to interpretation.

You will need:



1- Joseph's Whole Wheat, Oat Lavash
1/4 cup of Fat free Kraft shredded Mozzarella
1/4 cup of Fat Free Kraft shredded cheddar (or cheese of your choice)
1/2 cup of Jimmy Deans turkey sausage crumbles
Toppings of your choice- I like jalapeno slices and Trader Joe's Garlic chipotle salsa

Step 1:
Cut Lavash into "chips" using a pizza cutter or scissors, place on non stick baking sheet

Step 2: Place "chips" into oven, pre-heated to 375 degrees, bake for 7-10min depending on desired crispness

Step 3: Arrange chips on a microwave safe plate, I like to do to layers and divide the cheese and turkey evenly between them.  You can also arrange them on a pan, but I prefer the microwave method.
Step 4: Microwave the Nachos for 5min or until cheese is melted- if using the microwave chips will not be as crisp when finished.  
OR
Place pan in oven and bake at 375 degrees until cheese is melted (this will take slightly longer but result in crispy chips)

Step 5: Top as desired and ENJOY!
