    maybe subsitute chips and instead do thin slices of zucchini or carrots? use plain non-fat greek yogurt instead of sour cream, and add tomatoes, green onion, cilantro as "salsa" on top. that's the only healthy way i can imagine nachos.

    If you do want chips with your nachos, you can buy corn tortillas from any grocery store, cut them up, and bake them in the oven for 8-10 minutes to a crisp. I usually season a bit with red chilli powder and italian seasoning for a kick and they actually taste really good. Better than the fried stuff that I used to buy.

    - Substitute the ground meat with ground veggie crumbles
    - low fat cheese, sparingly (yes I know, that's the worst part)
    - FF sour cream
    - skip the guac and the beans
    - Salsa!

    I made some with some nice quality steak (very lean, fat trimmed off) minced at the butcher, corn tortillas oven baked (as mentioned below), Chobani 0% fat Greek Yoghurt, fresh kidney beans instead of canned, bell pepper, jalapeno and topped off with spanish onion, coriander, home made guacamole and salsa. Basically just made it from scratch including spices for the meat instead of using store bought seasonings and stuff. While it's not super duper healthy, it's definitely more nutritious and forgiving than a take away bowl of nachos or using packet stuff.

    I made vegetarian ones a couple of months ago! Tinned tomatoes, chunky onions, beans, guacamole and light sour cream! :wink:
