I cannot vouch for how accurate this is figured as some items are not
listed in the database and I have to figure using substitutes, like
figuring how many fresh tomatoes to use as there is no listing for canned
tomatoes. So, take it with a grain of salt.
You could further lower the fat content by using the No Oil Tortilla
Chips which are baked and not fried or you could prepare your own chips by
cutting corn tortillas into wedges, sprinkling with water, placing on an
ungreased cookie sheet and baking at 350 degrees F until crisp and dry.

This recipe is a concoction of a friend. She originally used all the
good (?) stuff, ground beef, cheddar cheese, refried beans cooked with
lard, and whole milk sour cream. . She has since seen the error of her
ways. <VBG> It is just as good and a lot healthier. Please do try it and
give it a fair chance. I think you will like it. (Trish McKenna)

"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’."

~ John Thorne, American food writer
