This recipe is a healthier take
on “loaded supreme nachos” –
organic, gluten-free and vegetarian!
Benefits:
– Instead of regular corn tortilla chips, I used baked blue tortilla chips
(less fat than the traditional fried chip version. Also more fiber and vitamins than yellow/white corn chips)
– Instead of fat-free cheese or regular cheese, I used full-fat “mexican” organic shredded cheese.
(organic ensures that there’s no added hormones and full-fat is less processed and more satiating than fat-free).
– Instead of sour cream, I used organic plain greek yogurt (full-fat)
(tastes almost EXACTLY the same and full of protein and probiotics- good for digestion).
