nacho recipe

[Guest guest]

one of our favorite things to eat here is this nacho

dish. can be a little time consuming, especially if

you are making it by yourself (hubby and i always make

a point of prepareing dinner together when we make

this) hope others enjoy it as much as we do!

 

Tortilla Chips:

 

between 30-40 corn tortillas

canola oil

 

fill a large pot a little over 1/4 full with canola

oil and heat over medium heat. tear or cut tortillas

into quarters. cook a handful of tortillas in the oil

at a time, stirring often to make sure they dont'

stick to each other. they are done cooking when they

are a golden brown, and/or there are very few bubbles

in the oil. (i know you can also bake the chips

instead if you prefer, but i am not sure on the baking

times)

 

refried beans:

 

a few tbsp of canola oil

one medium onion

3 colves of garlic-minced

jalepeno peppers to taste (we ususally use a 12 oz.

jar)

two cans of pinto beans

one can of kidney beans

 

heat the oil in a large pan, and sautee the

onion,garlic, and peppers until the onion turns clear.

add the beans, and bring to a boil. cook the beans

between 10-15 minutes, until much of the liquid has

boiled away. mash with a potato masher.

 

place the chips in an oven safe pan, and spoon the

refried beans on top. cover with cheese (we use vegan

cheese). bake at 350 degrees for twenty minutes.

 

salsa:

 

4 cups peeled fresh tomato

2 cups green pepper

2 cups sweet red pepper

one medium onion

two cups of jalapeno peppers

3/4 c cider vinegar

2 cloves of garlic

1 tablespoon of salt

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon oregano

 

place all these ingredients into a large pot and boil.

reduce the heat and simmer, about one hour. stir in a

about a half of a pint of tomato paste, and simmer for

an additional ten minutes. pour into hot jars or a

warm bowl, and let cool. this makes around 3 pints.

 

guacamole:

 

three avocados

1/2 of a small onion

3 cloves of garlic-minced

juice from one lemon

three tablespoons of salsa

 

cut and peel avocados ( i find it easiet to cut the

avocados in half, removie the pit, and then spoon it

off of the skin) and place them in a bowl. add the

rest of the ingredients. mash all together and

refridgerate for one hour.
