If you could pick a favorite food, what would it be? One that tops my list is nachos. But sadly, since tortilla chips are a main ingredient of nachos, the starch factor is hard to avoid. UNTIL NOW!!
Well, I actually got this idea from one of my patients. Turkey pepperoni as chips. Genius!!! Just pop those babies in the microwave on a paper towel for a few minutes and you have crispy, high protein crisps. Read on for the full recipe for Chicken Nachos.
If you are a nacho lover, as I am, then I think you will enjoy this! You can also make these pepperoni crisps to use with salsa. So yummy! Enjoy, Lauren 🙂
