NACHO FANATIC PLATTER
This is one of my favorite sins to eat! It’s great for parties, meals, snacks, or just a movie in front of the TV. You can make it party portion, individual portion, and the greatest thing is that its customizable!
Ingredients
Main:
Tostitos: multigrain (healthier), scoops, bite size, quesadilla cheese, etc.
*Just take your favorite type of nacho chip
Toppings:
-Chunky Salsa: spice to taste (medium, spicy, etc)
-Grated monterey jack cheese (enough to cover the nachos)
-Onions, tomatoes, avocados, chicken, beef, sour cream, hot peppers, jalapeno, etc… (you can literally put anything on this)
-Great add-ons: DIPS (cheese, spinach, and south west) 
Preparation:
Preheat your oven to broil mode!
prepare all your ingredients….cut up tomatoes, cook chicken or beef, etc. NOW THE FUN PART! Take an oven safe plate as big as you want it!
Take some 
and layer ingredients how you like them make sure you spread everything all around to get some flavor everywhere! Then another small layer of and then some more ingredients…avocado, chicken, salsa, sour cream, etc. and then the finishing touch is to sprinkle a layer (however thick or thin that you like) all over the top of the nachos! Slide the plate in the oven and leave in until the cheese it completely melted and the Nachos start to brown a little!
**Watch out because if you leave the plate in too long your NACHOS will BURN! Trust me on this one!
Then take the plate out …don’t forget the oven mitts…and enjoy!
***For bigger parties use cookie sheets as plates!
ENJOY!
