Vegetable Nachos

 No artificial cheese sauce here! While nachos are never going to qualify as a health food, this vegetarian version packs in a variety of vegetables and nutrients.

1/2 bag of tortilla chips
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 yellow pepper, diced
1 plum tomato, diced
1/4 of a red onion, diced
