Nachos are always a great gameday snack, or even dinner.  In my house anything can be used for nachos.  We've made Bacon Nachos, left over prime rib Nachos, plain cheese and jalapeno nachos, and many more varieties.  This time I had left over rotisserie chicken and left over Black Bean and Corn Salsa so I used these to make nachos.  All nachos are tasty and these did not disappoint.  The chips were crunchy, the cheese melted perfectly, and every chip had toppings on it.  We've got nacho making down to an art.

Guacamole

Chicken and Black Bean Salsa Nachos:  Crunchy tortilla chips layered with leftover rotisserie chicken, black bean and corn salsa, and shredded cheese.

On an oven proof platter lay down a layer of tortilla chips.

Top the chips with cheese, chicken, and salsa (I put a little cheese below the other toppings and then again on top so when melted it would help hold everything on the chip).  Then top with another layer of chips and toppings finishing with a sprinkle of cheese.

Bake at 200F for about 10-15 minutes to melt the center cheese, then broil for  few minute until the top cheese is melted.

Servings depend on the size of the platter and how many layers you make.  We use a roughly 9x12 pan with 2-3 layers for 2 people.

Top with a dollop of guacamole or sour cream and serve with more guacamole, sour cream, and/or salsa.

Enjoy.

Great Guacamole

Yum

A creamy dip of pureed avocados and spices.


Great Guacamole:  A creamy dip of pureed avocados and spices.



Guacamole is a delicious and creamy dip made mainly of mashed avocados.  I've made pretty great guacamole with just avocados, lime juice, and hot sauce.  Even plain mashed avocados taste great.  But, when I have a chance I like to go all out with my guacamole.  I like to keep it green using only other green ingredients that add spice and flavor.  Now that I have a food processor it makes it even easier.  Here is the recipe.



Ingredients:

2 Avocados, (peels and pit removed)
1/4-1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
lime juice from 2 limes (about 1 Tbsp)
1-2 jalapenos, roughly chopped
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/4-1/2 cup cilantro
pinch of salt.


Put all ingredients into a food processor and process until finely chopped and creamy.


Serve with your favorite tortilla chips.


Enjoy
