For an amazing midnight snack or appetizer on-the-fly, nachos are the way to go! Average Betty transforms leftovers into micro-fun! Make these Nachos your Nacho Resolution!

Ingredients for Nachos:

leftover meats such as chicken or steak (about 1/2 cup)
leftover veggies such as onion or bell pepper
tortilla chips (about 2 hand fulls)
shredded cheese, about 11⁄2 cups (such as cheddar or Monterey Jack)
1 green onion, diced
1 small tomato, seeded & diced
1-2 tsp fire roasted jalapenos
black olives (if desired)

Get creative!

Find some leftover meats and veggies in your fridge.

Grab a couple handfuls of tortilla chips.

Cover a big, microwave safe plate with tortilla chips.

Add a layer of shredded cheese.

A layer of chicken or steak (if desired).

Some onions and bell peppers, perhaps?

Top with another layer of cheese.

Add a blast of fire roasted jalapenos.

Microwave until desired meltiness. Yes, when describing Nachos, meltiness is most certainly a word.

Mmmm. Before you did in…

Garnish with tomatoes, green onions (and black olives, if desired) and serve with guacamole and sour cream. For Nachos, Betty likes a simple guacamole of mashed avocado, salt, pepper and a squeeze of lime.

Makes enough for 2 really hungry people or 4 less hungry people that are using your cutest cocktail napkins.
