HEALTHY NACHOS RECIPE!



Everybody wants to be able to enjoy comfort food every now and then, so I like to invent ways for my family and I to be able to do this without exposing ourselves to harmful ingredients.

This recipe was a real hit at my house!

NACHOS!

CHIPS
- Organic crisp 'chips' made from brown rice flour, poppy seeds, water and sea salt.
- ground turmeric to sprinkle on chips
SALSA
- Kidney beans
- Coriander
- Parsley
- Garlic
- Red Onion
- Tomatoes
- Red Capsicum
- Sea Salt
- Ground Black Pepper
optional, garnish with a little fresh parsley

 METHOD
- Crisp chips under grill or in oven for 5-15 minutes, until warm and crisp.
- Place all salsa ingredients in a blender except the kidney beans, blend until there is a smooth salsa like consistency.
- In a pan, combine the cooked kidney beans with the salsa mixture and stir until heated to your desired preference.

 TIP
- Most supermarkets have chips or crackers readily available that are wheat, gluten, dairy, egg and sugar free if you don't have time to make your own. ORGRAN is a great Australian brand that sells many products like this.

 ORGRAN also have spiral pasta available that consists of only 3 ingredients - Brown rice flour 99% and Spinach and Beetroot 1%. I highly recommend it as a healthy alternative to pasta, this way you never have to go back to wheat products but can still enjoy some comfort food every now and then, because let's face it - everyone loves pasta!
