Porky Nachos

PICTURES TO COME TONIGHT!


Ingredients 
  • Blue Corn Tortilla Chips
    • *You can use any tortilla chips; I just think Blue Corn gives a little extra flavor.
  • Colby Cheese 
    • *Pepper-Jack Cheese would be awesome too but I didn't have any :(
  • 1-1/2 Tbs. Olive Oil
  • Lime/Lemon Juice
  • PEPPERS (One of my favorite ingredients ever!)
    • I used Bell Peppers b/c they are colorful but Jalapenos would add a fabulous kick.
  • 1/4 Onion
  • Pork Tenderloin 
    • *This was a left over; but you could easily use ground beef or turkey.  Be sure the meat is fully cooked.
  • Taco Seasoning
    • If you don't have Taco Seasoning you can spice up the Pork on your own... (*I always eyeball the amounts so below are just estimates...use whatever you think taste right.  Trust your inner cook!)
      • Garlic (NEVER forget the garlic)
      • Paprika
      • Red Pepper
      • Parsley
      • Salt (try not to add to much b/c it is always good to cut back on sodium)
Directions
  1. Slice and then cube Peppers, Onion, Pork Tenderloin.  
  2. Heat a frying pan with Olive Oil to medium-high heat and place cubed ingredients from step 1 into pan.  Sprinkle desired amount of taco seasoning over ingredients in the pan.  Adding Lemon or Lime juice in the pain gives some added flavor.  
  3. Layer the Chips in an oven safe dish.  Grade the cheese and sprinkle half on Chips.  Melt the first layer of cheese in the oven @ 350 degrees.  *Amount of cheese can vary depending on preference.
  4. Place the pan ingredients in the pan over the chips and melted cheese.  Then cover with the remaining half of cheese.  
  5. Place in the oven again @ 350 degrees.  Cook until cheese begins to melt and then switch to broil at the end to give the nachos a toasted brown look.  
This is a great party dish so be sure to enjoy with a group :)
