Baked Nachos

Baked Nachos

Baked Nachos is an all-time favorite in my family. It is full of traditional Mexican flavor. It is a good appetizer for dinner and can be served with a glass of drink.

Baked Nachos consists of Corn chips layered with kidney bean mixture. Cheese is sprinkled over it and the nachos are baked till the cheese melts. (you can use cheese as per your requirement. I do not want more cheese).The blend of cheddar and mozzarella cheese tastes good. However, you can use the cheese of your choice. Top the baked nachos with salsa and guacamole. You can also serve a dollop of sour cream on top. (I haven’t in this recipe)

Keep the kidney bean mixture, salsa, guacamole and sour cream ready. Just before serving, assemble the nachos with kidney bean mixture and cheese and then bake. Serve immediately with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.

I find the baked nachos to be similar to our papdi chaat where wheat flour chips are topped with potato, chickpea and bean mixture and then with tomato, onions, and coriander, just like salsa. The tamarind sauce and coriander chutney enhance the flavor. Thickly whisked sweet curd is spread all over like the sour cream and is garnished with spices and chopped coriander.

I also make the healthy version of the baked nachos by using baked sweet potato chips. I will share the recipe for baked sweet potato nachos soon.

So friends make and bake this tempting and tasty baked nachos and please share your comments!
