Load up on healthy veggies (like avocado, onions, peppers, tomatoes, salsa, and black beans) and omit — or limit — unhealthy choices (like sour cream, cheese, refried beans, red meats). Swap sour cream for non-fat Greek yogurt, beef for turkey, and full-fat cheese for a leaner alternative to preserve all that classic nacho flavor. Pop it all in a pre-heated oven to get melty and crispy!
