A Tex Mex Treat Nachos Food

A TEX MEX TREAT - NACHOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Arrange a layer of tortilla chips along the bottom of a wide, shallow baking pan. The layer of tortilla chips can be a couple chips thick. Spread the refried beans over the chips (this is why you need extra thick chips, so they don't break when encountering the beans). Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top of chips and beans and lastly sprinkle slices of jalapeño peppers over the cheese.
• Bake in oven for 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted. 5 minutes in a convection oven.
• Serve with dollops of salsa, sour cream and guacamole, with chopped cilantro sprinkled on top.

TEX-MEX NACHOS (RESTAURANT STYLE)

Steps:

• Spread tortilla chips on a cookie sheet completely covering cookie sheet so that edges of chips are touching and occasionally overlapping a little.
• Evenly spread grated cheese over tortilla chips.
• Last sprinkle slivered jalapenos over grated cheese, if using jalapenos slices, try to place one slice on each chip.
• Run under broiler, watching carefully until cheese is melted. Serve Hot.

TEX MEX CHEESY NACHOS

Steps:

• In a large pan over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Add onion and garlic, sauté until transparent, about 3 minutes.
• Add ground chicken, and use a spatula to break it up into pieces. Let the meat brown without moving it for about 3 minutes. This gives the meat more contact to the pan and will result in a better sear. Sprinkle with cumin, coriander, paprika and cayenne. Continue to brown the chicken, stirring every minute until all the moisture has evaporated, about 4-7 minutes. Make sure there are no signs of pink and break up any large pieces.
• Heat broiler to high and move rack to the middle position. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place nacho chips in an even layer. Spread cooked chicken mixture over the nacho chips, layer with roasted red peppers, jalapeño and sprinkle with Armstrong Tex Mex shredded cheese. Broil for 2-4 minutes, watching closely.
• Garnish with chives and cilantro. Serve immediately.
