I call these Light Cheese Nachos my “Bad Girl Nachos” because they taste SO good, but feel so bad. Seriously, when you eat them, you may feel like you are cheating on your diet.

But one-half of the entire platter is just 6 Points, which is way better than the typical restaurant nachos. These are made with real cheese, and fresh ingredients making them incredibly flavorful.

You are getting a lot of bang for your buck in these nachos, and they also quite filling. Share this dish with a friend and you’ll be able to enjoy this guilt-free pleasure for just a handful of Points.

These Light Cheese Nachos are key for me when I’m having a bad day and just need to consume some junk food. But if I can find a way to make my favorite version a lot healthier and Weight Watchers-friendly, then I can have them more often and save the bad version for a very occasional treat.

These healthy nachos are a MUST try!
