June's Challenge
Jalapeno + Cheese = These Amazing Nacho Bites
I have been making these nacho bites for at least 40 years and have never shared them with you. Well, I have shared them with some of you when you have come over to visit but I have never posted about them on this blog.
When the assignments were made for this month's Improv Cooking Challenge, I immediately knew what I was going to make. These are one of my favorite snacks and I love serving them up to guests.
They are great for an appetizer or just as a munchie with Margaritas or Cervezas.
They are easy as can be and I usually have all the ingredients on hand in the case of unexpected guests. They are simply round tortilla chips, canned refried beans, cheese of your choice, and pickled jalapenos.
This time around, I used colby jack but you could use any kind of melty cheese. No jalapenos on hand? Try it with pepper jack cheese......YUM!!
You will find all the other member's jalapeno and cheese creations at the bottom of this post. Enjoy.
Nacho Bites
1 package round tortilla chips
1 (14 oz) can refried beans
1 block Colby Jack Cheese

Spread refried beans onto the tortilla chips. Top each with a slice of cheese and a sprinkle of dice jalapeno. Place onto a cookie sheet and broil until cheese is melted and bubbly. Transfer to a platter and serve. Print Recipe
I'll take a plate to go please! :)
ReplyDeleteGladly but I would rather you stay and share them over Margaritas with me, Nichole.
DeleteWhat a fantastic idea! I love these and definitely will be making them soon!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy, Jane.
DeleteI love nachos. I certainly do not make them often enough at home. Hope your summer is going well! I miss getting around to all the posts. I'm trying to catch up today!!
ReplyDeleteLife gets busy, Paula. I loved the shares about Darian's graduation. You must be bursting with pride.
DeleteI am! Now I need to find peace in settling in to our 'new' life at home!
DeleteIt takes time....be patient with yourself.
DeleteWe had nacho's for dinner the other night. I always have the makings on hand, never can tell when a craving will hit. Great choice for this month's Improv Challenge.
ReplyDelete"Chips & cheese" is what my boys call these, Wendy. Life is not complete without an after-school/work snack of nachos, that's for sure. (I don't like beer, but pop open an Angry Orchard & I'm there... Margs any time, too!)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever had an Angry Orchard. I'll have to check em out.
DeleteEasy peasy but oh so delicious!
ReplyDeleteThe perfect recipe :)
DeleteOh, I like these! So much easier to eat than a big shared platter!
ReplyDeleteYes, a little more time consuming to make but much easier to pass and share.
