Zesty Nachos
Who doesn't love a plate full of nachos? Our taste buds do, but our waistlines? Typically not so much. On average, one plate of nachos can pack as many as 600 calories and 38 grams of fat. What's a gal to do when her goal is weight loss, but she's craving crunch and flavor? Call the MRC Kitchen and have them drum up a healthy nacho plate that won't sabotage your weight loss goals! Introducing our Zesty Nachos! They're lower in calories and fat than traditional natchos and are packed with hunger-fighting protein! So, your nacho plate will feel like a meal instead of just an appetizer! The best part? We haven't skimped on any of your favorite nacho toppings! We've got guacamole, ground meat, cheese, and even a clever and delicious sour cream swap!
With just seven easy ingredients and a little bit of prep, you'll be ready to get your crunch on and dig into a mouth-watering meal that you can feel good about eating! As far as veggies on Nachos go, we know there are vastly different preferences. So, we're leaving it up to you as far as what you want to put on your nachos. But if you're looking for some suggestions, we recommend shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced green onion, and diced jalapeno (for a spicy kick). We suggest doing at least 4 oz. of vegetables, but you can do up to 8 oz. if you really like your veggies with your nachos!
