Day 6: Nachos, Texas-Style
Homesick Texan was so persuasive about dressing each individual nacho that I just had to try it for myself. While my nachos weren't quite as spare as hers, each bite was so very satisfying.
It's a little more work, yes. Think of them as Tex-Mex crostinis. :P Also, I think because each bite was so tasty, I ate less nachos than I normally would because I was satisfied that much sooner.
Nachos, Texas-Style
Adapted from Homesick Texan (Please read her very persuasive post on Texas-style nachos.)
You'll need:
Tortilla chips
Refried beans
Cheddar Cheese
Jalapenos
Salsa
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Smear a bit of refried beans on as many tortilla chips as you'd like. Top with a few sprinkles of cheddar cheese. Then top each chip with a jalapeno.
Bake for about 5 minutes or so until the cheese melts. Add a dollop of salsa on top.
Enjoy!

An excellent reason for dressing each chip - eating fewer!
ReplyDeletewhat do you mean when you say you'll need "nachos" as an ingredient? do you mean tortilla chips?
ReplyDeleteNikki,
ReplyDeleteYes, a good side effect. I eat way too much as it is.
Tania,
Oops! Thanks for pointing that out. I corrected it. :)
