NOUS (nachos of unusual size)
Dec. 26th, 2007 09:06 pmIt all started with tortilla chips, left over from Solstice. (The acronym could also stand for Nachos of Ur Solstice, aren't I clever?) They were just sitting around, and I didn't want them to go bad. So I started poking around in the fridge to see what else we had...
Ingredients
Around 1 bag of tortilla chips (I used a mix, what we had in the house)
roasted red peppers (sliced, about 1/3 cup)
black olives (diced, about 1/3 cup)
three cheeses, about three cups worth (oh yes, you know how I like the multiple cheeses - in this case, I just used what we had left over from, right, solstice)
fresh spinach (torn, about 1/2 cup)
fancy deli ham, torn in strips (or diced chicken or smoked tofu) (1/4 to 1/3 cup)
salsa (2/3 small jar)
guacamole (to taste)
sour cream or plain yogurt
Preparation
In a large baking dish, sprinkle cheese or beans. Add a layer of chips. Spoon out some salsa - not enough to cover the chips completely - and add meat or spinach. Add another layer of chips. Preheat oven to 375. Add guacamole and spinach or black beans. (Are you following my layering substitutions here?) Add a final layer of chips, then top with olives, red peppers, and more cheese. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes. Serve with salsa and sour cream or yogurt on the side. Serves three to four as a meal, would serve six as an appetizer.
