Mediterranean Nachos for Game Day

Mediterranean nachos is where it’s at! A much healthier and just as filling and even more delicious than the traditional loaded nachos! These guys are packed with gorgeous eye popping color, crunch, flavor, spices and with nearly half the fat!

These are some of my favorite flavors…turmeric and cumin, hummus with tahini, cucumber and mint yogurt and bright fresh lemon juice.
