Nachos

     Finally here is the recipe I promised several weeks ago.  Nachos are very easy to make once you know how to make the right substitutions.  I have made the proportions for one person, but you could increase the amounts and make a platter for guests.

                                                                     Nachos
                                                   

favorite tortilla chips
1/2 can 2.25 oz size black sliced olives, well drained
2 tblsp. refried beans with 1/4 tsp. ground savory mixed in
cheddar, jack, mozzarella soy cheese
soy sour cream
guacamole (recipe from 8/20/12)

     On a dinner plate or luncheon sized plate, place two to three hands full of chips.  Don't make the stack too high or the other ingredients will only be on the top.  Place teaspoons of the refried beans around.  Add as much cheese on top as you would like and top with the olives.  Microwave in 30 second increments until the cheese is melting and not too long that the chips get soggy.  Serve with soy sour cream and guacamole on the side.
     Next week I will share two recipes for dessert shots.  One for apple cheesecake shots and one for pumpkin cheesecake shots.  These could be made to go along with your Thanksgiving dinner as an allternative to the traditional desserts. See you next time.
