Individual Nacho Pouches Recipes

FULLY-LOADED NACHO CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place a baking sheet in the oven to preheat for 10 minutes.
• Fit a wonton wrapper into each cup of a 12-cup nonstick muffin tin, pushing the wrapper down to the bottom of the cup, and crimping as necessary so that it forms a cup.
• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallions and cook, stirring until softened, about 1 minute.
• Add the beef and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring until brown, about 4 minutes. Add the taco seasoning and stir to combine.
• Remove the skillet from the heat. Use a slotted spoon to transfer and transfer the taco meat to a bowl and drain off the fat.
• Add the cheese, pickled jalapenos and beans to the taco meat and toss to combine. Season with salt.
• Fill the wonton-lined muffin cups with the beef mixture, place the muffin tin on the preheated baking sheet and bake until the wrappers are crisp and golden brown, about 17 minutes.
• Remove the nacho cups from the muffin tin and arrange on a platter.
• Top with the diced avocado, pico de gallo and sour cream, and serve immediately.

CRAZY NACHOS

Steps:

• To make the chipotle taco meat, in a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the beef and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is lightly browned and the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more. Add the tomato, chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne, and chipotle chile. Stir until the spices are well distributed, turn down the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the masa harina until well combined, then taste and adjust the seasonings. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the lime juice and remove from the heat.
• To make the guacamole, mash the avocado until smooth. Stir in the jalapeño, cilantro, cumin, and lime juice. Adjust seasonings and add salt to taste.
• To make the nachos, pour 1/2 of oil into a heavy skillet and heat to 350°F. If you don't have a candy thermometer, after 5 minutes of heating, you can stick a wooden spoon into the oil to see if it's ready. If the oil bubbles around the spoon it should be hot enough. In batches, fry the tortillas for 1 minute, until golden brown, turning once. Drain on a paper towel and sprinkle lightly with salt.
• Place the chips close together but not overlapping on a baking sheet or castiron skillet, and top each with 1 teaspoon refried beans, 2 tablespoons chipotle taco meat, and 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese.
• Bake for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. After removing the nachos from the oven, top each with 1 tablespoon guacamole, 1 tablespoon sour cream, and 1 pickled jalapeño slice. Serve warm, with salsa on the side.

INDIVIDUAL NACHO POUCHES

Steps:

• Foil Pouches -- I like to cut squares about 12x12 and you will need 8 of them. Next set a plate like 5-6" wide, salad plate works great. and place the foil in the center and fold up the sides slightly almost making a foil fowl.
• Nachos -- Add about 15 chips (full chips) per pouch. Now, there is 4 cups of cheese for 8 packages, so you 1/4 cup of cheese to add over the chips, then next comes the sauce, and finish with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese.
• Sauces --.
• Beef/Bean - In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium high to high heat and add the ground beef and onion and cook until brown and no longer pink. Add in the scallions, chili powder, cumin, beans, tomato sauce, salt and pepper to taste.
• Bean - In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium high to high heat and add the onion and cook just a couple of minutes until it becomes tender. Add in the black beans and pinto beans and cook 2-3 minutes slightly mashing them up with a fork or potato masher as they cook. Then add in the scallions, chili powder, cumin, beans, tomato sauce, salt and pepper to taste.
• Baking -- You can do this in a oven or on a grill as well. On a baking sheet, add the nachos pouches with the chips and cheese and bake at 425 for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
• Toppings -- Now -- top your nachos with either the seafood sauce, just pour over the nachos or the beef and bean sauce. Top with a little more cheese and bake just another 3-4 minutes.
• Serve -- Thats it! Serve your individual pouches with either a creamy seafood sauce or a traditional beef and bean sauce. Put all your topping in the center of the table and let your guest make their own nachos.
• This is by far one of my favorite party dishes. Now the Seafood is a favorite and the beef and bean is second, but you could use all vegetable or chicken or just about any combination you like.

INDIVIDUAL NACHOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Build six stacks on a rimmed baking sheet by alternately layering tortilla chips with your favorite toppings, such as black beans, salsa, sliced jalapeno chiles, and shredded cheese. Bake until cheese is melted and stacks are warm throughout, about six minutes. Garnish with sour cream (why hold back now?), and serve immediately.
