Microwave Potato Nachos

Made the family the less healthy version of this, and had this version myself.

  • 1 large baking potato, scrubbed
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 c bottled chunky salsa
  • 1/2 c canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/3 c shredded low fat cheddar cheese
  • 1 scallion, sliced

Cut the potato into 3/8 in slices, arrange in a single layer on a microwaveable dish. Sprinkle the potatoes with cumin, salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap, prick a few times to vent. Microwave on high until tender, 6 min.

Spoon the salsa over the potatoes, sprinkle with beans and cheese. Microwave, uncovered, until the cheese is melted, 2 min. Sprinkle with the scallion and serve at once.

Yield 4 servings, 1 point each
