Nachos are another sporting staple that needed a healthy makeover. It’s the chips that tend to be the most problematic. They break easily and aren’t particularly ﬁlling, causing you to grab more and more. Using mini bell peppers gives the nachos even more substance while cutting back on unnecessary calories.
