How to make nachos high in protein?

In order to make high protein nachos, we focus on four main things, adding in plenty of meat (chicken is our go-to here), adding in plenty of beans (black beans for the win!), topping the nachos off with a scoop of Greek yogurt (a high protein substitute for sour cream), and our secret to the best high protein nachos... Making the cheese sauce from cottage cheese! These nachos have 38 grams of protein per serving (not counting the Greek yogurt), and are packed with fresh produce for plenty of other nutrients as well! And if you're looking for another example of high protein nachos, check out our high protein chicken tinga nachos .

Is cottage cheese good on nachos?

Cottage cheese can easily be turned into a delicious nacho cheese sauce that makes it perfect for nachos. In fact, it's one of our favorite ways to make nacho cheese. Check out our cottage cheese queso recipe to learn how to make it!

What toppings go well with cottage cheese nachos?

Since cottage cheese nachos taste lighter and healthier, we like to choose toppings that feel that way too. Guacamole and Greek yogurt (in place of sour cream) are our favorite toppings. But any fresh produce like jalapeno wheels, corn, or pico de gallo work really well and add a bunch of flavor.
