Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Arrange rice cakes closely together on a baking sheet. For quick cleanup, cover baking sheet with parchment paper first.
Sprinkle diced tomatoes, onions and canned beans on rice cakes. Feel free to add whatever extras you like, such as jalapeño peppers, olives, hot sauce or cooked chicken breast. Grate just enough cheddar cheese over the rice cakes to cover your toppings and add a little cheesy flavor.
Bake until cheese is melted and rice cakes are heated through, about 2 minutes.
Evenly top nachos with chopped cilantro. Spoon salsa, guacamole and Greek yogurt over nachos. Serve immediately.
