Everyone loved homemade tacos right? Well why not make homemade nachos? Every time we make homemade tacos my mom ends up crumbling her taco shells onto a plate and making "nachos" instead of a taco. So I decided why not make nachos? It's simple!
Tip: If you want to melt your cheese really well- heat your oven to 350. Take your plate and cover it with a sheet of parchment paper. With scissors cut the paper into a circle to fit your plate. Layer your cheese, meat, beans, and other "hot" toppings. Carefully pull your paper, and nachos, onto a baking sheet. Place in oven for a few minutes, just long enough to melt your cheese. Take out, slide everything back onto you plate, and top with "cold" toppings like tomatoes, onions, sour cream, etc.
Here are some topping ideas:
Ground beef (or Ground Turkey!)
Shredded chicken
Shredded cheeses of your choice
Sliced Black Olives
Sliced Avocado
Diced onion
Diced tomato
Diced bell peppers
Diced peppers of your choice
Black beans
Refried beans
Guacamole
Salsa
Diced green onions
Sour Cream
Green taco sauce
The list goes on... This is another way to let kids have some fun in the kitchen. Let them pick out their favorite toppings and make their own nachos!
Tip: Schnucks has a great Pico De Gallo in their produce department that doesn't have hot peppers in it. It is basically just diced tomato, diced onion, and diced bell pepper in a container. I use this for nachos, tacos, or breakfast burritos. So much easier and it has a great fresh taste to it.
