Cooking Games: Nachos


Yummy nachos are a great winter snack as they are warm and gooey – perfect sporting events and winter television shows. To make nachos you need to start with the basics:


• Tortilla chips
• Cheese
• Beans (Pinto or Black beans work best)
• Tomatoes
• Shredded Lettuce
• Hot Sauce

Lay the chips in a single layer along a baking sheet. Carefully scoop out a small spoonful of beans onto each child and coat with cheese. If you desire, you can add another layer of chips above the first and then repeat by adding the beans and cheese to each. Put the tray in the oven for about 7-10 minutes to heat the nachos. While you are waiting, carefully slice tomato into small pieces and prepare your shredded lettuce.

When ready, remove the nachos from the oven and scoop them off the tray and onto a serving platter or plate. Sprinkle generously with the tomatoes and then the lettuce. You can add hot sauce to each nacho or scatter it about the whole platter. Jalapenos can be added for flavor as well. Enjoy!
