Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 appetizer servings
Ingredients
Red and white pico
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • ⅓ cup white onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
White nacho sauce
  • 1 TBS each: butter and all purpose flour
  • ½ cup broth of choice (I used vegetable)
  • 1 TBS liquid from a jar of jalapenos (optional)
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 4 oz monterey Jack cheese, shredded off the block
Nachos
  • 6 oz blue corn tortilla chips, about 6 cups
  • 1 roasted red bell pepper, cut into stars or diced
Instructions
  1. Combine tomato, onion, garlic and salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a small skillet, melt butter and whisk in flour. When smooth, whisk in broth, jalapeno pickling liquid, and cayenne. Stir in shredded cheese until smooth and remove from heat. Cheese will harden as it cools, and is best if drizzled over nachos immediately.
  3. Cover 1 large platter or 3 small plates with tortilla chips. Sprinkle tomato mixture over top. Drizzle with cheese and top roasted red bell pepper stars.
