Lowfat Mexican Nachos and Spicy Pita Chips
Much of the fat in traditional nachos comes from the corn chips, cheese and sour cream, all of which are normally high in fat. A typical nachos meal would contain 35g of fat. This one, including the homemade corn chips, has only 3.2g great tasting Mexican treat.
