Nachos are irresistible. We’re all in agreement here right? We go to a fabulous Mexican restaurant, looking forward to all of the delights on offer, but it’s almost impossible to resist the nachos! Then we eat all of those nachos, and we’re too full to enjoy the juicy steak, spicy rice, 3 other sides that would be a shame not to try, and the bite of oversized-burrito from my husband’s plate that we know he won’t mind us nicking….. Yes, you can replace ‘we’ with ‘I’ in everything I just said. Oh nachos, you’re a wickedly unhealthy curse on us all, that i’ll continue to order because I never learn. As much as I love making chilli-cheese strewn nachos at home (from my husband’s legendary leftover chilli), I know they’re not exactly a nutritious lunch or snack. So I decided to come up with this Healthy Nachos with Salsa Verde, a healthy version! Wholemeal pita bread strips tossed in a little olive oil and a couple of spices, then baked until golden: I could eat them on their own, straight from the oven. But topped with cool (yet spicy) salsa verde: Plus a little creme fraiche, some juicy tomatoes and a sprinkling of cheddar? Yeah, they’re addictive too! A fresh, simple, nutritious lunch that won’t leave you feeling like you need to spend the rest of the day napping.
