Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Stir the sour cream and chipotle chile together in a small bowl. Cover with plastic wraps and refrigerate.
- Scatter half the chips on a rimmed baking sheet. Top with one-third of the turkey, cheeses, Brussels sprouts, butternut squash and fried onions. Scatter the remaining chips on top followed by the remaining two-thirds of turkey, cheeses, Brussels sprouts and fried onions. Bake until the cheeses are melted and bubbly, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Drizzle the nachos with chipotle sour cream and extra adobo sauce. Garnish with cilantro, black olives, and jalapenos.
Tips:
- Use a variety of leftover Thanksgiving dishes. This will give your nachos a more complex and flavorful taste. Some good options include turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, and cranberry sauce.
- Don't be afraid to get creative with your toppings. In addition to the traditional nacho toppings like cheese, sour cream, and salsa, you can also add things like guacamole, pico de gallo, jalapeños, or black beans.
- Make sure to heat your nachos through before serving. This will help to melt the cheese and make the nachos crispy.
- Serve your nachos with a variety of dipping sauces. This will allow your guests to customize their nachos to their own taste.
Conclusion:
Leftover Thanksgiving nachos are a delicious and easy way to use up your holiday leftovers. They're perfect for a party or a casual weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little creativity, you can create a nacho dish that everyone will love. So next time you have some leftover Thanksgiving turkey, don't just make a sandwich.
