Nacho Baked Potato Food

NACHO BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• If Using Only the Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F. Using a fork or paring knife, puncture potatoes in several spots. Rub each potato with a light coating of oil. Arrange on a rack set on a baking sheet, or directly on an oven rack, and bake until a fork can easily be inserted into the center of each potato, about 1 hour. If setting potatoes directly on oven rack, set a sheet of foil on the rack below to catch any oil drips.
• If Using the Microwave and Oven: Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Using a fork or paring knife, puncture potatoes in several spots. Microwave potatoes for 5 minutes. Rub each potato with a light coat of oil. Arrange on a rack set on a baking sheet, or directly on an oven rack, and bake until a fork can easily be inserted into the center of each potato, about 20 minutes. If setting potatoes directly on oven rack, set a sheet of foil on the rack below to catch any oil drips.
• Let potatoes rest 5 minutes. Slice each open lengthwise and carefully scoop flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash the potato flesh with the sour cream, cumin, and chili powder. Gently stir in the refried beans until well-combined.
• Scoop mashed potatoes back into skins. (You can refill each skin, making 4 smaller potatoes, or use all the mashed potato to refill only half the skins, making 2 overstuffed potatoes.) Using your hands, reshape each stuffed potato back into a classic baked-potato shape. Pour over the cheese sauce, then top with pico de gallo, avocado, and sour cream, as desired. Serve immediately.

• Bake in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are crisp and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Transfer potatoes to a plate and top with Mexican cheese blend, black beans, diced tomatoes, black olives, green onions, and green chiles.

ROASTED POTATO NACHOS (SHEET PAN)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, toss sliced potatoes with olive oil, salt and paprika until evenly coated.
• Spread potatoes onto baking sheets in single layers.
• Bake potatoes until fork-tender, about 20-25 minutes.
• Combine potatoes onto one baking sheet so that there is little to no space between potatoes.
• Top potatoes evenly with black beans, spinach, salsa, and cheeses. If you have a jalapeno pepper, add slices now.
• Bake until the cheeses are melted, about 10 minutes.
• Top with optional toppings like diced red onion, cilantro, sour cream or Greek yogurt, avocado or guacamole.

BAKED NACHOS WITH ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Toss the sweet potatoes in a medium bowl with 1 tablespoon oil, cumin and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast until soft and partially browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Spray both sides of the tortillas with cooking spray, then stack them up and cut the stack into 8 triangular pieces. Separate the tortilla pieces and lay them out onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle with the chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt and toss. Bake the chips until crisp, about 15 minutes, tossing the chips halfway through the baking time. Remove the chips from the oven and toss them with the lime zest.
• Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the onions and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the adobo sauce and tomato paste and stir until the tomato paste darkens slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the beans and 3/4 cup of water and simmer the sauce until it thickens and the beans are heated through, about 5 minutes. Set aside until ready to assemble the nachos.
• Combine the tomatoes, remaining onions, serrano chile, lime juice, remaining 1 teaspoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture becomes a chunky salsa.
• To assemble the nachos, mound half of the tortilla chips in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Scatter most of the beans and the sweet potatoes over the chips. Sprinkle with half of the cheese. Mound the rest of the chips over the cheese and finish with the remaining beans, sweet potatoes and cheese. Place in the oven until the cheese melts, 5 to 7 minutes. Top with the avocado, salsa and cilantro.

• To assemble, evenly space the fries on a microwave safe plate. Top each fry with 1 tablespoon of the heated beans and then sprinkle with the cheese and olives.
• Put the plate in the microwave and heat on high for 1 minute, or until cheese is melted. With oven mitts, remove the plate from the microwave. Top each fry with 1 teaspoon salsa and 1 teaspoon sour cream.
