What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Bright Ideas: Scoop Chili Cheese Nachos! Before you sit down to watch your favorite sports team or series on Netflix, throw together a sheet pan of nachos to snack on. It’s the perfect food for grazing because everyone seems to like them. First of all, nachos are finger food. They’re also snackable ( is that a made-up word?) They feel like a treat or a party’s going on. And there’s enough for everyone. Add some sour cream, guacamole, and sliced jalapeños, if you choose. On second thought, better double the recipe if you’re expecting more than two or four. Be forewarned.
SCOOP CHILI CHEESE NACHOS
Ingredients:
9.25 ounce bag Scoops® corn chips*
15-ounce can chili, any brand
15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
2-3 tomatoes, diced
2 green onions, snipped
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Sriracha sauce, for drizzling
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 400°. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick oil. Set aside. In a glass mixing bowl, combine chili with black beans. Warm slightly in the microwave. Fill each corn chip with a tablespoon of filling. Place chili chip on the prepared baking sheet, forming a single layer. Repeat until the tray is full. Layer the shredded cheese over all. Place diced tomatoes onto cheese. Finish with green onion snips and red pepper flakes. Bake 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted. Serve with sriracha sauce for extra zing.

Sometimes I love Scoops and sometimes they’re way too salty. Right now, I think I’d like these with a french fry base!!

Seriously??? It started as “irish nachos”… usually chicken as the meat base, potato chips or fries. Now, everywhere around here sells “asada fries”… nachos on fries, usually with grilled steak (asada) as the meat. I prefer carnitas or shredded beef. Soooooo good!!!

I guess I need to do some research. I live in an area where there are over 900 restaurants. Surely someone serves them. Thanks!

Easily found at cheap Mexican restaurants.
Also, fyi, a “California burrito” means it has fries in it.
