MEXICAN MAKEOVER
We love nachos. We know they're not always good for us, but they do taste great.  The crunchy chips, the gooey cheese... Sometimes, we've just gotta have a nacho fix.  Luckily, when we want to indulge our nacho cravings, we don't have to resort to gulping down insane amounts of calories and fat grams. This make-at-home nacho swap is WAY lower in calories than pretty much anything you can order in a restaurant, but it still tastes awesome!  Check out HG's Ooey Gooey Chili Cheese Nachos!

Ingredients:
1 bag (7 oz.) Guiltless Gourmet Tortilla Chips, Yellow Corn flavor
1 package Boca Chili
4 oz. 8th Continent Light Vanilla Soymilk
3 oz. fat-free block cheddar cheese
2 oz. Velveeta made with 2% Milk
2 tbsp. fat-free cream cheese
2 tbsp. fat-free sour cream
3/4 cup Newman's Own All-Natural Bandito Salsa

Directions:
Melt all three cheeses in a saucepan with the soymilk; stir to combine.  Prepare chili according to the directions on the box. Microwave chips until warm, and place on a large platter.  Pour your low-fat cheese sauce all over your chips. Cover your chips with chili.    Spoon salsa on top, along with  a few dollops of fat-free sour cream, and, voila, there you have it!  Makes 5 servings.

TORTILLA FATS
Nachos are usually considered an appetizer. However, if you eat Taco Bell's version of the classic Mexican dish, you may want to skip the rest of your meal. That's 'cause the fast food restaurant's gloppy pile of tortilla chips, beans, cheese, sour cream, etc. contains an obscene 440 calories and 26 grams of fat (7 of 'em saturated!). Yeeee-eccch. Why inhale all those fatty calories in five minutes when you can swap it up and have a just-as-yummy version at home? Our advice is simple: When it comes to nachos and dining out, DON'T do it.
