Who doesn’t love a big plate of nachos? Crunchy, cheesy, and packed with flavour, they’re a go-to comfort food. But traditional nachos can be heavy on unhealthy fats and empty calories. That’s why we’re bringing you a better-for-you version that keeps all the deliciousness while making smart swaps for a healthier meal!

This recipe uses crispy baked Mountain Bread chips instead of deep-fried tortilla chips, lean beef mince for added protein and Greek yoghurt as a light and tangy alternative to sour cream. The result? A nutritious, satisfying plate of nachos you can enjoy guilt-free!
