Mucho Macho Nachos
Servings 10 people or more
Ingredients
- 1 can refried beans
- 1 large bag white or yellow corn tortilla chips
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 1 can chilli or your favorite chili recipe
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 small can mild green peppers
- 1 cup smoked corn salsa or Mexican corn blend
- Cholula or Bufalo or similar Mexican hot sauce
- 1/2 can jalapeno peppers chopped*
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup salsa
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives and/or green olives
- Fresh cilantro to garnish
Instructions
- Have all the prepped ingredients easily accessible to assemble this nacho dish. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Warm refried beans in a small saucepan until they are soft enough to spoon across tortilla chips.
- Spread a layer of tortilla chips across the bottom of a large, oven proof shallow pan or serving platter. Quickly distribute the warm refried beans across the chips.
- Cover with a layer of chopped onions, a layer of cheese and then canned green peppers.
- Spread Mexican hot sauce to taste. Spoon a layer of chili, then top with cheese.
- Repeat this layering process until ingredients are used up.
- Place pan or platter in the oven ; bake 5-10 minutes to melt cheese and heat chili.
- Remove the pan from the oven and place on a heatproof pad or trivet. Top nachos with sour cream, salsa, olives, jalapeno and cilantro. Serve hot with additional tortilla chips and Mexican sauce on the side.
Notes
Next time I make this, I will coat the bottom of the pan/platter with some oil, then lay refried beans across the bottom. Doing this should make it easier to dip the nachoes with tortilla chips.
* You can substitute the canned jalapenos with 1 fresh jalapeno, sliced crosswise, plus extra for garnish
