  • 1 Tablespoon Smart Balance Cooking Oil
  • Smart balance Non-Stick Cooking Spray

For the Avocado Cream:

  • 1 bunch of fresh cilantro, top half only, stems discarded
  • 2 avocados, seeded and quartered
  • 1/4 jalapeno pepper seeded and chopped
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup Smart Balance Omega Plus Light Mayonnaise Dressing
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 Tablespoon Smart Balance Cooking Oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the eggs:

  • 1/2 pound ground breakfast sausage
  • 6 Smart Balance Omega-3 Grade A Natural Large Eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup shredded Manchego cheese

Extras

  • 1 (15 oz) bag tortilla chips
  • cilantro leaves for garnish
  • fresh salsa

Directions

  • For the peppers, preheat oven to 450o F. Place pepper and jalapeno rings in a bowl and toss with oil. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and place pepper rings on sheet, do not overlap them. Roast peppers about 10-12 minutes or until soft. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • For the avocado cream, place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. If it is too thick, add more chicken stock until desired consistency is reached.
  • For the eggs, brown sausage over medium heat until cooked through. Add eggs and scramble with sausage until fluffy. Remove pan from heat and stir in cheese.
  • To assemble nachos, place a layer of tortilla chips on a large platter. Drizzle avocado cream over chips, followed by a layer of sausage-egg-cheese mixture. Scatter with half of the pepper rings. Repeat. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve with fresh salsa on the side.
