Description

These are everything you love about nachos—melty, meaty, and crunchy—but with a macro-friendly twist. Seasoned ground beef sits on a bed of roasted potatoes or tortilla chips, then gets smothered in a creamy, queso-style Greek yogurt sauce. Packed with around 40g of protein per serving, this is comfort food that powers you up, not down.
