Loaded (chicken) Nachos

This isn't an exact recipe, more just a lunch, dinner or snack idea with suggestions regarding ingredients.

Begin with whole or crunched-up tortilla chips.  Whatever kind you like - thick, or thin and crispy like the ones shown here.  

Add any of the following:

Corn, black beans, tomato, salsa, pico de gallo, avocado, onion, cheese, roasted or stir-fried beef or chicken, cilantro, taco sauce, sour cream.  Today, for me it was chips, pico de gallo, chicken, tomato, avocado, shredded cheese.  Everything layered, then 40 seconds in the microwave and it was ready.  

Listen to your cravings and be creative! . .Lin

Not-Yo usual Na-Chos 😉

• whole grain Norwegian crispbread
• crumbled bacon
• shredded cheese
• kalamata olives
• sliced green onions
• ½ med. avocado - chopped
• 1 sm. peeled tomato - chopped

Crumble one or two pieces of crispbread into a bowl. Top with any or all of the above. In a small cup, mix some of the sour cream with the green salsa and pour that on top of everything. Warm your taco bowl in the microwave for about a minute. I'm not a fan of ground meat at all, other than in meatloaf and a really good burger on the grill every few years. What I do is buy a couple pounds of bacon, cook it all, drain and cool it, then crumble and store it ziplock bags.

It keeps a long time in the 'fridge or you can freeze it. Then you can add to egg salad, steamed fresh green beans, pea and cheese salad, tossed salad, scrambled eggs, and...NACHOS!

 

Remember, be creative, experiment! Cooking is art, not science! . .Lin
