Nacho Roll Ups Food

NACHO CHEESE PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Spread each tortilla with about 2 tablespoons bean dip and 2 tablespoons cheese dip. Sprinkle each with onions.
• Tightly roll up tortillas; wrap individually in plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 1 hour but no longer than 24 hours. To serve, cut off ends from each roll and discard. Cut rolls into 1/2- to 3/4-inch slices. Secure with toothpicks if desired.

NACHO ROLL-UPS

Steps:

• Cut the avocado in half, and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh into a medium bowl, and mash with a potato masher until mostly smooth. Add the cilantro, lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and stir to combine. Refrigerate the guacamole, covered, until ready to use.
• Combine 1 1/2 cups of the Cheddar, sour cream and jalapenos in a medium bowl.
• Working on top of a long piece of parchment or wax paper (about 22 inches long), lay out 2 tortillas, overlapping in the center by 2 inches so the total width is about 16 inches. Spread 1/4 cup of the beans in a 2-inch strip across the bottom of the tortillas, then 3 tablespoons of the guacamole in a 2-inch strip above the beans, then 4 tablespoons of the Cheddar-jalapeno mixture in a strip above the avocado. Place a third of the crushed tortilla chips on top of the cheese layer. (You should be halfway up the tortilla.) Starting at the bottom, roll up the log as tightly as possible, using the parchment to help you roll and keep everything tight (but do not roll the parchment into the roll itself!). Spread a thin layer of beans to seal the end of the wrap. Wrap tightly in plastic and refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes or up to overnight. Repeat with the remaining ingredients for a total of 3 rolls.
• Position the oven rack 4 to 5 inches from the heating element, and preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Unwrap the rolls, and slice them into 1-inch-thick pieces (you should have about 18 per roll). Place the rolls cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet, and sprinkle the tops with just enough of the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar to cover (about 1 teaspoon per piece). Broil until bubbly and browned, about 45 seconds. Serve while hot with salsa and any leftover guacamole.

TORTILLA ROLLUPS IV

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, fiesta-style ranch dressing mix, chunky salsa and Cheddar cheese. Spread even amounts of the mixture onto the tortillas. Roll tortillas and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• To serve, slice the chilled, rolled tortillas into 3/4 inch slices and arrange on a large serving platter.

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.

HOLIDAY ROLL UPS

• Slice into small wheels and serve.
