How to make Mango Nachos

by

This weekend I had the pleasure of using fresh mangos to create a fun snack for Sunday afternoon that solicited a lot of “mmms” and “yummms” and “these are so good” from my family.

As a plus, mangos are only 100 calories per cup, which makes them just about the perfect food!
