Although incredibly delicious, nachos are deceptively filling making them a dish that's easy to overeat. Since
Cinco de Mayo is next week, I wanted to make a less-heavy variation of nachos that would allow for maximum margarita consumption. To make the nachos lighter — I have no clue if they're healthier, we'll have to ask
