Admit it: Most of the fun we have watching the Super Bowl is not on TV but on our kitchen tables, laden with incredible, delicious foods just begging to be devoured.
This year, why not put out a plate of cheesy nachos that will offer your friends and family incredible crunchy taste but also healthy protein and natural, clean ingredients?
Low fat, with full, hearty flavor, this recipe will delight you and your guests, and you will not have to feel guilty if you take seconds - or thirds.
We chose healthy ingredients, but you will never guess this Nachos dish is natural, good-for-you, and the perfect "swap it" dish for your Big Game party.Be sure to use low fat shredded cheese, whole grain chips and natural The Real Co Basmati Rice (in our local stores) to create the dish everyone will enjoy.
About The Real Co and my passion for their foods: I work with food on a daily basis, and discovered this incredible Basmati Rice from The Real Co a few months ago. This is the only food company I know of that offers 100 percent Single Origin foods, which means I can see the farm the rice is grown on since it's listed on each bag. I love this rice, and decided to create a totally protein packed, healthy version of Nachos that I could eat without feeling guilty. Enjoy! This is not an ad.
