4 cups white corn torilla chips (really any torilla chips will work)

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 cup salsa
1-2 teaspoons chilli powder (or taco seasoning)
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded iceburg lettuce
1 medium tomato, diced
Sour cream and guacamole (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 10 inch glass pie plate with coooking spray. Crush torilla chips into small pieces.

2. Mix tortilla chips with egg white and press evenly into the pie plate to form a crust. bake until crisp, about 15 minutes.

3. Brown the meat (beef or turkey), onion and garlic in a medium nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Mix in the kidney beans, salsa, chili powder and salt. Simmer 10 minutes.

4. Stir 1/2 cup shredded cheddar into the meat mixture; pour the mixture into the baked crust. Top with the remaining cheddar, lettuce and tomato. Serve with Sour cream and guacamole, if desired. Extra salsa is also nice to have on the side
