Ragi, almond and chia seed nachos

The big leap to a healthier life pushed me to replace junk from my everyday snacking regime. After trying a few permutations to make nachos, I found this chance combination delicious and nutritious! Antioxidants, fibre and protein-packed chips. If you're making them for children, I recommend swapping the ragi out for more almond flour because they are tastier that way and they deserve the extra healthy fats and protein. Fabulous with hummus, Lebanese dips, guacamole, salsa and even as loaded nachos!
