Turkey Chili Nachos

We recently, for March break, flew to San Diego for vacation. Our family has now been there 4 times and we all love the area. We are lucky enough to have a timeshare in Escondido. I love going there for many reasons but one is to shop at Trader Joe’s, I am in heaven in that store!! That is where I shopped for these scrumptious Turkey Chili Nachos. They have such great products, produce, and wine, for incredibly inexpensive prices.

So on the plane, I take all of my recent magazines and create a menu and shopping list. After checking in at the resort we are off to Trader Joe’s!! Woohoo, vacation has started. One of the recipes I wanted to try was Turkey Chili Nachos, and man that sounded good!! Also, another favorite of ours is Smoky Chicken Nachos, so very good. 

It was from a Canadian Living Magazine but I adapted it slightly to what I found available.

Now the photos are not the best as I just had my phone for pictures, but you get the idea of how delicious these are!! Honestly, one of the best if not the best nachos I have ever had or made. They were scrumptious!!
