Game Day Nachos

Tailgating Treat!



Ingredients - All amounts are approximate:


1 bag of your favorite Tortilla chips
refried beans
1 jar medium to hot salsa
4 ounce can sliced black olives
sliced jalapenos to taste
leftover meat (beef, chicken, pork) cut into small pieces
2 to 3 cups shredded cheese - any combination of cheddar, jack, colby, and queso
avocado peeled and cut into cubes or made into guacamole
sour cream




Directions:


On a heat proof or microwave safe platter, alternately layer the first 7 ingredients, starting with tortilla chips until you have several layers.  Place the platter in the oven and broil 3 to 5 minutes  until cheese melts and becomes bubbly.  (Alternately, you can place the plate in the microwave and cook in 30 second increments until the cheese melts.)  Top with avocado and sour cream and serve.


Substitutions:


Many of the leftovers in your refrigerator can be substituted into this recipe.  Chopped tomatoes, onions, leftover corn, black beans, small amounts of meat all make excellent additions.  A delicious way to clean out the refrigerator.
