1 jalapeno, stemmed and chopped
2 red onions, thinly sliced
Olive oil, for cooking
Two 9-ounce tubes Mexican pork chorizo
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 cup vinegar
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
Homemade American Cheese, recipe follows
Leaves from 1 bunch fresh cilantro

8 ounces firm, solid low-moisture mozzarella, finely grated
4 tablespoons tapioca flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 ounces melted unsalted butter
1/2 cup strong beer
1/2 cup milk

Steps:

  • Bring oil to 350 degrees F in a deep-fryer. Slice the potatoes thin on a mandoline. Run under cold water until the water is clean. Fry until crispy.
  • Saute the bell peppers, jalapeno and half the red onions in olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until the onion is translucent. Add the chorizo, chili powder, cumin and paprika, then reduce heat to medium and cook until the chorizo cooks through. Transfer to a food processor and blend.

One 28-ounce bag frozen potato tots
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1 1/2 cups Perfect Cheese Sauce, recipe follows
1 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup pickled sliced jalapenos
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions

BEAN AND SWEET POTATO NACHOS



Bean and Sweet Potato Nachos image

A good twist on traditional nachos, these come from Linda McCartneys World Of Vegetarian Cooking. In fact, I did not make the sweet potato part, but I did make the rest of the recipe, and really loved the tomato/bean sauce. Omitting the sweet potatoes decreases cooking time by approx 60 minutes. I used only one whole green pepper, since I had no red pepper. I also made a spicy avocado guacamole, (see notes at end of recipe), and whipped some sour cream to accompany this, we loved it. Hope you enjoy them too!

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 lb sweet potato, peeled and diced

  • In a large baking dish, mix the sweet potato, 2 tblsp of oil, cumin and coriander seeds, and bake, uncovered, at 180C/350F/gas mark 4, for 50-60 minutes until tender. (NB I did not make this part of the recipe)(If you also choose to omit this step, preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4 now.).
  • Heat the remaining oil gently in a pan and add the onion, garlic, chilli and paprika.
  • Cover and cook until the onion is soft, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the tomatoes with their juice, and the peppers, and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the beans.

  • I beat some lemon juice into a cup of cream.(I used more than recipe states, I like sour cream!).
  • I then served these separately, they were delicious with the nachos!

8 medium red potatoes
1 envelope ranch salad dressing mix
1 (8-ounce) block of pepper jack cheese, sliced
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups sour cream

Salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or just until tender. Drain; cool slightly.

  • Toss the potatoes with oil and seasonings: This will help them brown and give them flavor.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are crispy: This will take about 20 minutes.
  • Top the potatoes with your favorite nacho toppings: This could include cheese, beans, meat, vegetables, and salsa.
  • Serve the potato nachos immediately: They are best when they are hot and crispy.
