Ingredients:
Tortilla chips
1 lb ground chicken
½ cup water
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon cornstarch
‘Sour cream’ sauce
¼ cup parve sour cream
1 Tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon salt
4 cubes frozen cilantro
2 cubes frozen parsley
Pinch of black pepper
Toppings options
Salsa
Cubed avocado
Guacamole
Sliced cherry tomatoes
Sliced jalapenos
Preheat the oven to 425. Place tortilla chips on a lined baking sheet and set aside.
Mix together all ingredients for the sour cream sauce. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Set aside.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat, and add in ground chicken. Cook until lightly browned and no longer pink, breaking up bigger chunks as it cooks.
In a small bowl, mix together the spices and corn starch. Stir spice mixture and water into chicken. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 6 minutes or until mixture is thickened.
While chicken is cooking, place the baking sheet with tortilla chips into the oven, and bake for 5 minutes, just enough to reheat the chips.
Remove tortilla chips from the oven. Spoon the chicken mixture over chips, and add desired toppings. Drizzle sour cream sauce over the loaded chips and dig in!
