Individual Nacho Pouches Food

SINGLE-SERVE NACHO CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the scallions, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the beef and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the green chiles.
• Combine the cheeses in a small bowl. Line the cups of a muffin tin with tortilla chips, breaking to cover bottom and line sides. Divide ⅓ of the cheese mixture among cups. Divide ½ of the beef mixture among cups and top with half of the remaining cheese mixture. Top with remaining beef mixture, and finish with cheese. Bake until the cups are heated through, cheese is melted, and the edges are browned, 9 to 11 minutes.
• Just before serving, top each cup with diced avocado, sour cream, pico de gallo, pickled jalapeños, and fresh cilantro.

INDIVIDUAL NACHOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Build six stacks on a rimmed baking sheet by alternately layering tortilla chips with your favorite toppings, such as black beans, salsa, sliced jalapeno chiles, and shredded cheese. Bake until cheese is melted and stacks are warm throughout, about six minutes. Garnish with sour cream (why hold back now?), and serve immediately.

INDIVIDUAL NACHO POUCHES

Steps:

• Foil Pouches -- I like to cut squares about 12x12 and you will need 8 of them. Next set a plate like 5-6" wide, salad plate works great. and place the foil in the center and fold up the sides slightly almost making a foil fowl.
• Nachos -- Add about 15 chips (full chips) per pouch. Now, there is 4 cups of cheese for 8 packages, so you 1/4 cup of cheese to add over the chips, then next comes the sauce, and finish with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese.
• Sauces --.
• Beef/Bean - In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium high to high heat and add the ground beef and onion and cook until brown and no longer pink. Add in the scallions, chili powder, cumin, beans, tomato sauce, salt and pepper to taste.
• Bean - In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium high to high heat and add the onion and cook just a couple of minutes until it becomes tender. Add in the black beans and pinto beans and cook 2-3 minutes slightly mashing them up with a fork or potato masher as they cook. Then add in the scallions, chili powder, cumin, beans, tomato sauce, salt and pepper to taste.
• Baking -- You can do this in a oven or on a grill as well. On a baking sheet, add the nachos pouches with the chips and cheese and bake at 425 for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
• Toppings -- Now -- top your nachos with either the seafood sauce, just pour over the nachos or the beef and bean sauce. Top with a little more cheese and bake just another 3-4 minutes.
• Serve -- Thats it! Serve your individual pouches with either a creamy seafood sauce or a traditional beef and bean sauce. Put all your topping in the center of the table and let your guest make their own nachos.
• This is by far one of my favorite party dishes. Now the Seafood is a favorite and the beef and bean is second, but you could use all vegetable or chicken or just about any combination you like.
