No pictures for this post, because... well... I ate it all before I thought of taking photos. Twice.
I've always been a big fan of nachos. I love their eat-with-your-hands-dammit-I-should-have-worn-a-bib nature. They are easy to make and very comforting to eat. And evil... oh, so evil...
Well. Not that evil. For years, now, I've been using plain yoghurt instead of sour cream - mainly due to laziness (I usually have yoghurt in the fridge, and who can be bothered going out just for some sour cream?) - but I like the flavour and it's w-a-a-a-y low in fat. I also use refried beans or at least a bean salsa, which boosts the protein content.
When I'm feeling particularly virtuous - which does happen from time to time, believe it or not - I grab a packet of tortillas (I prefer corn, but flour also does ok) - slice a couple of them up with a pizza slicer and chuck them in the oven on a low heat for a while (hopefully remembering they are in there before they go all black and smokey). Then I make the nachos with those instead of corn chips.
So then the only truly evil part of the nachos is cheese, and hey, cheese is good for you... isn't it?
Tonight I used wholemeal tortillas, so dinner was practically a health food!
