Tasty Tuesday: Nachos

As I mentioned in a post last week, we are going to try to share more recipes on the blog because, well, we don't have a lot to say every week, but we do eat a lot, so why not feed the blog with our food too ;-)

One thing I'll note is that many of the meals we make are "low" in calories, but I will try to primarily share recipes that have good options of how to make them higher in calories and/or fat.

Nachos

28g Mild Green Mojo Multigrain Snack Chips by Late July Organic (found at Costco)
1/2 c. bagged salad
1/3 c. Santa Fe Medley by Steam of the Crop
1/8 c. Stinkin Good Green Chile sauce with Pork
4oz Shredded Chicken by Del Ray

I put the chicken, santa fe medley, and green chile sauce in a bowl and heated it up. Put the chips on the plate, hot mixture on top, and topped the whole thing with the lettuce.

Who doesn't LOVE nachos? These are really delicious. They chips really make the meal. They are really flavorful, and I encourage you to pick up a bag next time you see them (we got ours at Costco). We tried them for the first time this weekend as a sample while we were there, and I couldn't pass up buying them. They are like those chips "with a hint of lime", but 6 times more awesome.

Some additives to make this higher in calories would be the obviously things like cheese, sour cream, guacamole, black olives, you name it.
