Nachos
Ingredients:
Ground meat – beef, pork, turkey or you can use a meat substitute
Tortilla chips
Jarred salsa in different intensities
Mexican blend shredded cheese
Sour cream
Diced avocado
Diced onion
Shredded lettuce
Diced tomato
Sliced black olives
Sliced jalapeno peppers
Slice, dice and shred all of the additional items that can be added to the top of the nachos. This would include onions, tomatoes, olives, jalapeno peppers, avocados and lettuce. Serve these in separate bowls.
Before you start cooking the meat, preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the meat in a large skillet and cook it over medium heat. Stir and crumble the meat until it is evenly browned and not pink any longer. Drain the meat and discard any grease.
On a baking sheet, spread out a layer of tortilla chips and then spoon the cooked meat over the top. Pour some of the salsa over the meat and then add the cheese. Place the covered tortillas in the oven and bake them about 15 minutes or until the cheese is all melted.
Remove the nachos from the oven and serve with the various toppings. Be prepared for these to go quickly. You may want to have other pans of the nachos prepared ahead of time in the refrigerator to quickly place them in the oven and keep the nachos refreshed. Your guests will definitely appreciate it.
