Athlete Nachos
"Nachos for dinner? We have no shame in admitting that this is one of our favorite meals, when done the Athlete Food way.
"We've put our stamp on the traditional idea of nachos by using iron-rich bison, adding leafy greens, and using non-GMO, lower sodium chips made from beans. You still get that crunchy pile of melted goodness, but it's topped with fresh ingredients like tomatoes, jalapeños, and plenty of cilantro. Enjoy!" – Bec of Athlete Food
