Homemade Nachos and Salsa
When you typically think of nachos, healthy food is not what comes to mind.Instead one imagines the cheese-laden, lard-filled beans, served over chips cooked with rancid oil. Okay, maybe you don’t think of it that way, but I certainly do. Nachos can be very tasty, but when you’re trying to eat healthy, ordering them in a typical American restaurant isn’t a good idea. What is a great idea is to make them at home. It’s fun; you can design them exactly the way you like, and they are truly healthy while being delicious at the same time. Truly a win-win. Give this recipe a try and let us know how you enjoy it. This recipe is courtesy of our Registered Dietitian.
