Healthy Nachos

Nutrition & Weight Loss, Recipes, Weight Loss Help

You can’t go past nachos for an easy, family friendly, crowd pleasing lunch or dinner.
If you’re trying to lose weight though, it’s not always the greatest option.
All that cheese and sour cream, not to mention salt enriched salsa and a whole array of fried ingredients and it’s easy to see how this favourite Mexican dish packs a considerable calorie punch.
Veg nachos

Fortunately, you can still enjoy this yummy dish, without all the excess calories.
All it takes are a few simple switches to the basic ingredients to lower the salt, sugar and calorie content.
This version replaces standard bleached corn corn chips with homemade wholemeal pita chips, ups the veggie content with the addition of tomatoes, capsicum and corn and cuts out the sour cream so you can enjoy a mexican fiesta, without the calorie guilt!
Yum!

  • 4 wholemeal tortillas
  • 200g can diced tomatoes
  • 1 x cup red and green capsicum, diced
  • 1 x cup sweet corn
