Title: Super Nachos
Post by: Steve on April 25, 2007, 06:17:49 PM
I posted this one a while back, but here it is again  :thumbsup:

Needed:

1 pound lean ground beef
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
Pinch of salt
1 small can refried beans or bean dip
1 10 or 12-ounce bag corn tortilla chips
1 1/4 pounds Monterey Jack or Mozzarella cheese, grated
1 large onion, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 6-ounce can black olives, chopped

Brown the ground beef in a medium skillet. Drain. Add the chili powder, cumin and salt. Set aside for a moment. Spread a thin layer of refried beans or bean dip over the bottom of a platter or shallow, heat-proof bowl to anchor the first layer of chips.

Then spread a layer of chips over the beans, top with a layer of cheese, ground beef, onion, tomato and olives. Repeat until all the ingredients are used. Or, since this recipe usually makes about 4 layers, you can divide all the toppings into 4 portions for even layering.

Microwave on high until heated through, about 10 minutes, or bake at 375° for 20-30 minutes. Serve warm with sour cream and Guacamole Dip, if desired.

I will say that you should use the bake method to seal it all off, not the microwave. I have tried both, its just not the same.

Dude!

Sounds good.

I will post our Nacho recipe sometime.  Any specific brand of chips?

We found Dorito Gold to be by far the best.

I gotta try the bean thing.  Mmmmm beeeaannns.
