Game Day Nachos Recipes

ULTIMATE EASY NACHOS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and place the rack in the center position.
• Line 2 large baking sheets with foil or parchment paper.
• Place the chips in a single layer on the prepared pans.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the refried beans, sour cream, chile powder, garlic powder, and ground cumin.
• Stir until well mixed.
• Warm the bean mixture over medium heat until heated through, stirring every couple of minutes.
• Using a spatula, spread the bean mixture on the chips, dividing evenly between the two pans.
• Sprinkle the pans with the cheese, using 4 ounces per pan.
• Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Remove from the oven and top with diced tomatoes, green onion, and black olives. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
• Serve with sides of Easy Restaurant Style Salsa, Sour Cream, and Shredded Lettuce.

SUPER NACHOS

Steps:

• Cook and stir ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until meat is crumbly and no longer pink, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain excess grease. Stir in taco seasoning mix and water and simmer until beef mixture has thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Spread tortilla chips on the prepared baking sheet; top with Cheddar cheese and dot with refried beans and ground beef mixture.
• Broil in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, watching carefully to prevent burning, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Top nachos with salsa, sour cream, black olives, green onions, and jalapeno peppers.

GAME DAY NACHOS

Steps:

• Place the pork in a large shallow bowl and pour the orange and lime juice over it, then turn the pork to coat. In a small bowl, mix the salt, cumin, coriander, brown sugar, black pepper and garlic. Discard excess juice from the bowl containing the pork, then rub the pork all over with the spice mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to cook, or overnight.
• Heat oven to 300. Remove pork from refrigerator, discard any juices and place in the bottom of a roasting pan. Cook for 5 to 7 hours, or until pork yields easily to the tines of a fork. Allow meat to rest for up to an hour.
• When ready to serve, put pork on a cutting board, reserving the pan juices and fat. Using two forks, shred the meat off the bone, chopping it up if desired. Place in a large bowl and moisten with some of the reserved pan juices. Dice as much of the skin as you desire and add it to the meat, mixing to combine. Cover and keep in a warm oven until ready to use.
• To assemble the nachos, mix the lime zest and remaining juice into the sour cream in a small bowl, then refrigerate until needed. On a large platter, spread half the tortilla chips and cover with a layer of about half the meat. Sprinkle with half the sliced radishes and a third of the grated cheese. Repeat with another layer of chips, meat, radishes and cheese, then top with the sour cream, scallions, cilantro leaves and any remaining cheese. Serve with hot sauce.
