Sweet Skinny Nachos

Taco Tuesday

Happy Tasty Taco Tuesday Fit Diva.  One of my all time favorite indulging foods is a yummy, gooey, warm plate of nachos!!!!!  With a margarita or 2!  YUM!  However, this fit diva cannot have that on a weekly nor would I want to.  Talk about calories!!!!! But, if we can re-create that dish with the same flavors and just substitute a few things..why not?!
Now you can have both only skinnier with all the taste!!! Instead of using chips..Yes, I know we love the crunch factor, I used mini sweet peppers.  OMG So tasty!!!  I promise.  I’m not saying.. not to enjoy the real deal!  By all means indulge once in a while, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE to be able to eat the foods I enjoy on a regular basis.  Only make them fit the Fit Diva lifestyle!!!  Remember… lifestyle not Diet.

Besides, I would rather save those carbs for my margarita!  Skinny version of course!  haha
Eating is ALL about the number game.  That simple!!!
