If you’re looking for a high protein,
healthier version of nachos, this is for you!
Benefits:
– Instead of regular corn tortilla chips, I used black bean chips and plantain chips (high in protein, lots of fiber and much better for your digestion vs. corn chips)
– Loaded it up with fun healthy toppings like, black olives and jalapenos to give extra spice and pizazz!
