Turkey Nachos



3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups cooked turkey, coarsely chopped
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1 10 ounce package large tortilla chips
16 fluid ounces refried beans, (or regular)
2 cups shredded Monterey jack cheese, (or Cheddar cheese)
2 cups salsa
sour cream

1. Heat oven to 425°F. Whisk together lime juice, olive oil, cumin and garlic powder; toss with turkey in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
2. Make a layer of tortilla chips to cover the bottom of a large 12 to 14-inch round or oval baking dish. Evenly spoon refried beans over chips. Top with turkey and sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheese.
3. Make another layer of tortilla chips. Spoon half the salsa evenly over chips. Top with remaining cup of cheese. Bake nachos 15-20 minutes or until heated through and cheese melts and begins to bubble. Serve hot with remaining salsa, sour cream and cilantro, if desired.
