Superbowl Nachos


My husband hasn't always been a big Superbowl guy. This year, however, was different. He is a BIG Colts fan. So this year, we made a bigger deal out of Superbowl Sunday and actually made a food associated with the Superbowl....NACHOS! He was SO excited to eat these. I made them with homemade corn tortilla chips. They are much easier to make than they sound. Plus they are baked and not fried like regular chips. You can top these with anything that sounds good to you. I used taco seasoned beef (you could easily use turkey), cheese, olives, diced roma tomatoes, guacomole, and salsa.

To make the chips, get a stack of corn tortillas. Cut them in half, then cut each half into thirds so that out of each tortilla you get six chips. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Spread the tortilla triangles out on a cookie sheet and squeeze a lime swiftly over them. Next, spray them lightly with non-stick cooking spray and sprinkle with salt. Bake the chips until they get crispy and very light brown. About 8 minutes. Pull them out and flip them over. bake them again for an additional 4 minutes or so or until desired crispiness is achieved. Let them cool before serving.

After the chips are done, you can continue to top them with whatever you would like. These are always a big hit at our house.

Enjoy!
