Eating out used to be an occasional treat, but for many people it is now part of their regular routine. Unfortunately, that often means trading sound nutrition for convenience. The good news is you can still enjoy many of your favorite restaurant meals at home—and for a lot fewer calories. In the first of an ongoing series of healthy restaurant meal makeovers, we put a healthy spin on Chili’s Spinach and Artichoke Dip with Chips.

Dip Ingredients:
1 cup spinach, finely chopped
1 tsp. garlic
1 Tbsp. olive oil, canola oil or grape seed oil
1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
¼ cup canned artichokes
dash of salt & pepper
Homemade tortilla chips ingredients:
2 whole-wheat, low-carb tortillas (La Tortilla Factory makes a good one) or other whole-grain tortilla with approximately 50 calories per serving
cooking spray
Directions:
Slice each tortilla into 8 pieces. Spray a baking sheet with non-fat cooking spray and place each tortilla slice individually on the pan so that they are not overlapping or touching each other. Bake tortilla chips at 350°F for about 3 minutes on each side.
In a medium saucepan, sauté spinach and garlic in the oil. Remove pan from heat and let it cool. Once mixture has cooled for a few minutes, stir in non-fat plain Greek yogurt and a dash of salt and pepper. Pour mixture into a serving bowl and enjoy with homemade tortilla chips.
