Nachos

This is one of those foods that's great, cause you can put whatever the hell you want on it.  In this case, I had a couple extra things on hand that I added in, but feel free to make it your own by adding what you like, or taking out what you don't.

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 bag thick tortilla chips (so they don't break apart from the weight of the other ingredients)
  • 1 lb. ground turkey (or beef)
  • 1 package taco seasoning
  • 1/2 can corn
  • 1-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or nacho cheese... or both!)
  • 1/2 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups lettuce
  • 1/2 can refried beans
  • Sour cream
Directions:
  1. Set your oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. If you are using meat, brown the meat and follow the directions on the back of the taco seasoning packet.
  3. Arrange a handful of tortilla chips on a cookie sheet, being sure that most of the chips are exposed and not lying on top of each other.
  4. Add on your cheese, meat, refried beans, and corn... Anything that you wouldn't mind being cooked onto your tortilla chips.
  5. Add another layer of chips and add on more warm ingredients.
  6. Stick it in the oven and keep an eye on it.... Just warm it up long enough to melt the cheese  (about 10 minutes).
  7. Take it out of the oven and top with lettuce, diced tomatoes and sour cream.
  8. Grab a fork and dig in, cause once you get to the ooey-gooey center, there's no use in trying to keep your fingers clean.
