NACHO SCOOPS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and red pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes and chopped green chilies. Cook and stir until thickened, 5-7 minutes., Reduce heat to low. Stir in the pepper jack, process cheese and cream cheese until melted., Place 4 dozen scoops on an ungreased baking sheet. Add a rounded teaspoon of beef mixture to each. Sprinkle with Mexican cheese blend., Bake at 375° until heated through, about 5 minutes. Garnish each with sour cream and a jalapeno pepper slice. Repeat with remaining tortilla chip scoops.

NACHOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Spread half the chips out in a large shallow casserole dish or on an ovenproof platter. Top with half the beans, in small spoonfuls, and scatter with half the chiles. Repeat with the remaining chips, beans, and chiles. Sprinkle the top of the nachos with the cheese. Bake until heated through and the cheese melts, about 3 to 5 minutes. Top the nachos with dollops of the sour cream and serve.
• Pour the oil into a large heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of about 2 inches. Place a deep-frying thermometer in the pot. Heat the oil over medium heat to 360 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, stack the tortillas, and cut the pile into sixths to make chips.
• Raise the heat to high. Working in batches, fry the chips, turning them with a skimmer or slotted spoon, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chips to a paper towel-lined pan to drain. (Return the oil to the proper temperature between batches.) Cool and season with salt. Serve.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Brush both sides of the tortillas with the oil. Stack the tortillas and cut the pile into sixths to make chips. Spread the chips out in a single layer on two large baking sheets and season with salt. Bake until golden brown and crisp, rotating the baking sheets once, about 12 to 15 minutes. Serve.
• In a small bowl, mash two-thirds of the beans with a fork or potato masher. Reserve the whole beans separately.
• In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and add the onion. Cook until lightly browned, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring for 1 to 2 minutes more. Add the spices and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add the mashed beans and half the broth and cook, stirring frequently until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the whole beans and the remaining broth and simmer about 4 to 5 minutes more until thickened but not pasty. Season with the salt and pepper, and stir in the fresh coriander, if desired. Serve.

NACHO'S IN A CUP

Steps:

• Cook the ground beef on medium to high heat in a non stick pan until brown and no longer pink.
• Drain the ground beef and rinse your pan and add beef back to your pan.
• Pour the jar of Salsa into beef mixture and let simmer until the beef fully absorbs the sauce. The longer you let simmer the better it will taste.
• While the mixture is cooking, heat oven to 350 degrees and place a cooking sheet on any flat oven pan. Place the Tostitos scoop cups facing up in on the pan.
• Once the mixture is ready you can spoon it into Tostitos scoop cups and sprinkle with the cheddar cheese.
• Cook in the oven until the cheese is melted.
• Place each scoop cup on a platter and you can either leave sour cream or guacamole on the side or add to each cup.

MINI TACO NACHOS

Steps:

• Brown ground beef in a large skillet until browned and cooked through. Drain grease if necessary. Add onions and peppers and saute with meat until soft, about 3-5 minutes.
• Sprinkle seasonings (chili powder, cumin, coriander, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne and salt) on meat mixture. Add beer and stir until mixture is combined and slightly reduced.
• ***At this point, you could store meat mixture in the fridge until ready to use or allow mixture to cool slightly before starting nacho assembly. ***You could also skip those first 2 steps if you have leftover taco meat!
• Line baking sheets with aluminum foil that's been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
• Spread out tortilla chips on baking sheet in rows. (I can usually get about 7 rows of 5 on each baking sheet).
• Fill each tortilla chip with 1-2 teaspoons of meat mixture. Then top each chip with 1-2 teaspoons of shredded cheese. Finally, sprinkle green onions on top of cheese.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 5-7 minutes.
• Serve with salsa, guacamole, sour cream and/or hot sauce!

NACHO SCOOPS

Steps:

• Lay your scoops out on a foil lined baking sheet for ease of cleaning. They don't have to be perfect, but you want the whole ones standing upright so they catch the dressing.
• Squirt some ranch dressing over the scoops, getting a little in each one, but don't overdo it by getting a big puddle in each one or they'll get soggy.
• Sprinkle as many or as few jalapenos over the chips as you like.
• Sprinkle as much or as little cheese over the chips as you like.
• Place in oven at 450 degrees just until cheese is bubbly. This won't take long, depending on oven temps, so keep an eye on it.

CHEDDAR SHRIMP NACHOS

Steps:

• Combine the shrimp, cheese, chilies, onions and olives. Combine the mayo and cumin; add to shrimp mixture and toss to coat. Place about a tablespoon of the shrimp mixture into each tortilla scoop and place on baking sheets.
• Bake at 350° for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve warm.

QUICK AND EASY NACHOS

Steps:

• In a large frying pan, cook ground beef and onion over medium heat. Add taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Break the beef into small pieces while cooking. Once meat is browned and thoroughly cooked, drain off the grease and set aside.
• Spread the tortilla chips onto a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes (or until crispy).
• Top with refried beans, shredded cheddar cheese, sauteed beef, and sliced jalapeno peppers. Heat the refried beans first to make them easy to spread.
• Place the pan back into the oven until the cheese is melted.
• Enjoy!
