Pump up the protein on game day with these cheesy, ooey-gooey nachos that feature flatbread chips topped with chicken, beans, and a quick and beautiful cilantro-lime yogurt. Making your own chips out of store-bought flatbread is definitely the healthier way to go instead of buying bagged chips. These nachos are deliciously hearty and satisfying, and they're spiced with jalapeños and a touch of paprika, chili powder, and ground cumin. The spices and heat contrast nicely with the chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, avocado, and cheddar cheese. It packs a punch of flavor in every bite, and your guests will keep going back for more.
