LoveBites Healthy Nacho Salad

This is a healthier option for those wanting to enjoy the texture and taste of tradtitional nachoes but lower in fat. The addition of a salad mix, and elimination of cheese makes this recipe a mix of tacos and nachoes but aquires to everyones tastes! For an even healthier option you can replace the sour cream with mashed avocado garlic, and lemon juice. Mmmm perfect for a quick summer meal!

  • ½ green onion, diced
  • 1 jar Mexican salsa
  • 1 Mexican taco seasoning packet
  • Can of chili beans

  • 10 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Mesculin salad mix
  • 1/3  Cup fresh coriander, roughly chopped
  • Avocado, diced (or mashed with lemon juice, crushed garlic)
  • Sour cream to garnish
  • Corn chips (Doritos Original or for those back home Mexicano works nicely).
