I've been craving some nachos lately, but am a little bit wary of the corn chips.

Does anyone have a better alternative to corn chips?

    Never tried this but what about getting corn tortillas and baking them in the oven? The break apart into chips add salt spices or brush with olive oil prior. I'd be curious how that would turn out

    Trader Joe's has baked blue corn tortilla chips that work well for nachos, and are lower cal than regular chips. If you don't have a Joe's nearby, Tostito's also does baked chips.

    Misleading thread title. I thought this was going to be about fish chips or something.

    But I included corn chips in the title......

    And tuna. There was no mention of tuna in your OP as was promised by the thread title.

    If you crave nachos, I like to make some broccoli and melted cheese and add some toppings, a lot healthier and for me really gets rid of those kind of cravings!

    I know I always think broccoli when I want nachos.

    There's nothing wrong with corn chips. I live in New Mexico...corn chips as well as corn tortillas are just a part of life...I've lost 35 Lbs eating corn chips and corn tortillas as part of a balanced, healthy diet.

    Me too! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Bake your own corn chips .... spray with Pam before baking (helps to get the salt to stick) ..... or just count out a small portion

    Individual triscuit nachos - top regular triscuit with jalepeno slice, olive slices top with reduced fat cheddar put under broiler or bake and top with a dab of sour cream and salsa

    40-ish cals each depending on how much cheese/sour cream you use.
