Mushroom "Nachos"

This is from a cookbook of healthy meals in minutes. Mushrooms instead of high-fat fried chips cut a lot of fat from these “nachos”. Two of the mushrooms equal a serving but you might want to make these as a side dish with your next Mexican Supper. You can also use super sized portabellos and slice in quarters.

16 large fresh mushrooms, stems removed
Olive oil spray
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 cup fat-free refried beans
8 cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/3 cup fat-free or reduced-fat shredded Cheddar cheese
16 black olive slices

Preheat oven to 350º F.

Put mushrooms stem side down on a nonstick baking sheet. Lightly spray tops with olive oil spray. Sprinkle with chili powder. Turn mushrooms over and spread 1 teaspoon beans over cavity of each mushroom. Place a cherry tomato cut side up on beans; slightly press tomato into beans to secure it. Sprinkle with cheese and top with olive slices.

Bake for 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
