Chili Chicken Mango 'Nachos'

Sunday, July 26, 2015

From our skinny table to yours ...

We recently asked our lovely followers on our Facebook page if there were any guilty pleasure recipes we could skinnify for you all, so here it is ... guilt-free chicken nachos!  Deeelicious & hubby approved ;)


We swapped out the typical friend tortillas for crunchy sweet mini bell peppers.  We always have mini peppers on hand as our kids love them for snacking & dipping in hummus.  We stuffed these with a fruity combination of grilled chili chicken mixed with our mango salsa.  If you haven't noticed, we are mango obsessed these days ;)


Top these bite sized beauties off with organic cheddar cheese and bake for 10 minutes until warmed through & crispy.  After you try these, you may never order nachos out again!
