Sinful Baked Nachos

Those who are my friends on Facebook have probably seen a post or two about our "Nacho Nights" and wonder what the heck I'm talking about.

Every now and then we like to sit down in front of the TV with a tray of sinfully awesome food. We feel like it's okay to splurge sometimes. Of course, it's important to keep things in moderation.


So maybe you're not one to have nachos for dinner. Maybe it's just obserd to you.

Okay, have them for an appetizer. Serve them at a party. Take them to a BBQ!

The best part? Things are extremely easy, versatile, and you can make enough for a large group!
My mom and I made up this one :)
Half sheet size pictured
Serves: 2+
What you need:
cookie tray
bag of tortilla chips
cheddar or Mexican blend of cheese, shredded
 can refried beans
salsa, any variety
sour cream (low-fat is fine)
can sliced olives (optional)
 tomato, chopped (optional)
jalapeno, slice (optional)
leftover pulled pork or chicken (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350F. 
2. Place layer of tortilla chips on cookie sheet.
3. Layer cheese on chips.
4. Repeat layers, if desired.
5. Cook in preheated oven until cheese is melted.
6. Meanwhile, heat refriend beans.
7. Remove tray. With a spatula, add a layer of warm refried beans.
8. Add layer of salsa.
9. Add layer of sour cream.
10. Add desired toppings.

ENJOY!

Tips:
  • We use a half sheet size of cookie sheet for the two of us.
  • Baking it rather than broiling, results in crisper chips which are least likely to go soggy. If you're short on time, turn the broiler on instead.
  • Sometimes I place the sheet back in the oven for a few extra minutes to get the refriend beans and salsa warm. 
  • I don't care for tomatoes, so we put tomatoes on half of the sheet. These are like a pizza, you can customize the nachos to make them your own.
