Nachos

Nachos are a great little snack or a perfect quick lunch. They are fast, tasty, and inexpensive. Although many ingredients can go on chips, the cheese and salsa are essential. Use a substantial chip.
Yield 4 servings

Ingredients

48-60 corn chips
2 cups shredded cheese, Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Colby
1/4 cup sliced black olives, crushed
2 tablespoons jalapeño pepper, minced
2 tablespoons onion, chopped
3 tablespoons fresh chopped tomato
3/4 cup Salsa Casera
1/2 cup refried beans, spreadable consistency
1/2 avocado, cubed

1 Adjust oven rack to high position. Preheat broiler.

2 Place chips on cookie sheet in single layer. If using refried beans, spread on chips as a foundation. Evenly sprinkle cheeses, olives, jalapeño, onion, tomatoes, and a bit of salsa. Each chip should have most of the ingredients.

3 Broil for 5 to 6 minutes or until cheese begins to bubble. Watch oven to avoid burning the chips.

4 Remove from broiler and top with avocado. Serve from the sheet with remaining salsa on the side.

notes NOTE Gauge heat of salsa and jalapeño by tasting a bit to adjust the amount of spice desired.
