My kids love nachos and corn and that’s why I thought of mixing the two to make a healthy dish for them. That’s how we got this nachos corn chaat recipe with my signature healthy twist. I am sure you all know by now that I like giving a healthy twist to different recipes. But as I believe in the mantra, healthy not boring, I try to retain the taste and flavours.
Nutrition information of corn –
Corn or sweet corn is high in fiber and that’s why it’s good for your digestive system but it’s also high in sugars so one must be careful before having it. Especially if you are diabetic or trying to control blood sugar levels or trying to lose weight.
It is rich in Vitamins C, B, and potassium, and magnesium.
What are nachos made up of and are they healthy?
Nachos is a dish from Mexico which is made after frying the corn tortillas after cutting them into pieces. So, basically, these are corn chips or tortilla chips. They are made of corn, oil, water, and salt.
They have qualities of maize flour which is basically used for the preparation of the tortilla. Normally people eat them with salsa or guacamole or some kind of dip. You can commonly find nachos as a part of any Mexican dish.
