Super Healthy Veggie Nachos

I know nothing about American football but i love the game foods. So I would never miss on a game day party. When snacks become meals - its delish! But got to keep it healthy too. No need to give up on your favorite game snack foods, make them at home and keep it healthy. As you control what goes in and stays out :)

Simple is always the best. These days you can find a variety of artisan tortillas with attractive labels. But before they fool you, turn to the back and watch the list of ingredients. It will be long. That should be the first alarm. Rest is history. Corn tortillas are least in calories and are made with the simplest of home ingredients. And they make the best homemade tortillas chips. Load them up for nachos.
