Crazy Red Spicy Nachos

Alright, now here's an amzing new way to make nachos. Why is it called 'Red'? Is it because it's spicy? Is it red? For this recipe you'll be using a spice that I use on so many things now.. Tandoori.  Oh yes.

Lovely Tandoori



Ingredients:

  • 1 jalapeno pepper, deveined, seeded, sliced
  • 15 black olives, sliced ( this is approx. what a handful gives)
  • Plain Nacho Chips ( enough to fill your dish to cook in)
  • 1 1/2 cups Mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 1 cup of Salsa
  • 1-2 tsp Tandoori spice
  • 1 Tbsp Sour cream (optional)

Start:

  • Set oven to BROIL.
  • Prep: the jalapeno peppers, grate the cheese and slice the olives, set aside
  • Take out a Pyrex glass dish, or a baking sheet, fill up with layer of Nacho chips
  • Layer the cheese over the nachos, followed by the olives and peppers
  • Sprinkle on the Tandoori spice evenly.
  • Place in the oven, and watch it carefully for it not to burn, about 5 mins
  • Remove dish from oven,  using tongs, move the nachos to a large plate, slide them out if you can.
  • Pour on the salsa, add some dollops of sour cream, and you're good to dig in.

Here's how mine came out straight from the oven:




I bought my nachos and salsa from Costco. Kirkland Brand Salsa is the BEST!
Once you add the salsa, your plate tends to look very RED. Very nice!

Enjoy!
