Carb-Free Nacho Fries

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Cheesy French Fry Nacho Dish Subs Chips for Salty Frites

— January 30, 2016 — Lifestyle
Offering a carb-free alternative to a classic nacho dish is this homemade French fry version that creatively subs in tortilla chips for sliced potato wedges. The meal is then topped with all the classic fixings and can easily be made vegetarian for non-meat eaters.

The French Fry Nacho bowl is a hearty spin on the classic comfort food that focuses on vegetables as the main ingredients. The dish is made using baked potato wedges that are much less processed than traditional chips. The fries are then layered with cheese, onions, tomato and cilantro. Meats such as chicken or beef can also be added if desired.

The dish is an ideal appetizer for sharing in group settings such as getting together to watch football, hockey or soccer.
Trend Themes
1. Vegetable-based Comfort Foods - Creating comfort food dishes that are vegetable-based instead of carb-heavy can appeal to health-conscious consumers and offer opportunities for restaurants and food companies to differentiate themselves.

3. Meatless Appetizers - Developing meatless versions of classic appetizers, like nachos, can cater to vegetarian and health-conscious consumers and offer opportunities for restaurants to expand their menus.
Industry Implications
