We love nachos. We know they're not always good for us, but they do taste
great. The crunchy chips, the gooey cheese... Sometimes, we've just
gotta have a nacho fix. Luckily, when we want to indulge our nacho
cravings, we don't have to resort to gulping down insane amounts of calories
and fat grams. This make-at-home nacho swap is WAY lower in calories than
pretty much anything you can order in a restaurant, but it still
tastes awesome!
Ingredients:
1 bag (7 oz.) Guiltless
Gourmet Tortilla Chips, Yellow Corn flavor
1 package Boca
Chili
4 oz. 8th Continent Light Vanilla Soymilk
3 oz. fat-free cheddar cheese
2 oz. Velveeta Light
2 tbsp. fat-free cream cheese
2 tbsp. fat-free sour cream
3/4 cup Newman's Own All-Natural Bandito Salsa
Directions:
Melt all three cheeses in a saucepan with the soymilk; stir to combine. Prepare
chili according to the directions on the box. Microwave chips until warm,
and place on a large platter. Pour your low-fat cheese sauce
all over your chips. Cover your chips with chili. Spoon salsa
on top, along with a few dollops of fat-free sour cream, and, voila,
there you have it! Makes 5 servings.

Nachos are usually
considered an appetizer. However, if you eat Taco Bell's version of the
classic Mexican dish, you may want to skip the rest of your meal. That's
'cause the fast food restaurant's gloppy pile of tortilla chips,
beans, cheese, sour cream, etc. contains an obscene 430 calories
and 25 grams of fat (8 of 'em saturated!). Yeeee-eccch. Why inhale
all those fatty calories in five minutes when you can swap it up and have
a just-as-yummy version at home? Our advice is simple: When it comes
to nachos and dining out, DON'T do it.
