Healthy Loaded Nachos

My ultimate dinner is loads of chips topped with loads more of good stuff.  This healthy loaded nachos recipe definitely fits that. So insanely delicious, these are the best nachos I’ve ever had.  Your tastebuds will never believe that they’re healthy, promise.

A huge part of what makes these nachos so much healthier are the chips and the cheese sauce.  It’s made using my Oil Free Lime Tortilla Chips and my Oil Free Nacho Cheese Sauce.  They’re fantastic on their own and in this recipe.  If you don’t have the ingredients on hand to make the nachos, I definitely recommend having the chips and dip together!  It’s fantastic.

Recipe Notes

* I used Nasoya super firm pre-pressed tofu. Other varieties may not shred well. If using extra firm tofu feel free to crumble instead.

** I used Simply Organic taco seasoning.
