So over the weekend I had some chili and I wanted to make nachos... but I had no tortilla chips. I did have Ritz Crackers, so I decided to make something I like to call "Not ch'yo Nachos."
My mom made the turkey chili- if you have leftover taco meat or leftover rotisserie chicken... or just leftover meat or veggies... this could work too. You are the boss of your nachos so modify as needed. This is roughly the same recipe my mom uses... it's from a friend of ours and over the years my mom has probably modified it and made it less spicy... but if you're looking for a chili recipe this is a darn good one!
I heated up the chili first and then I melted a little bit of cheese onto some Ritz crackers. I just sliced some cheese and cut it up smaller and then put it in the microwave for about 20 seconds. This might be an extra step you don't want... but for me it really brought some extra flavor and cheeseyness. I used Colby Jack cheese if that makes a difference too.
After that I put some velveta cheese (again- use what you like- this just melts the best) on top of the chili and then I put that chili on top of the cracker! And I add some sour cream!
I really liked how this turned out. The cracker gave a nice crunch to it... it was almost like having a crust to the chili and it was just really good. The melted cheese on top of the cracker before the chili really made a difference in flavors... it made me think it was more of a nacho. When I took a picture and sent it to my mom she thought I went to a fancy Mexican restaurant and had some sort of toastado thing... it was pretty funny and all in all it just tasted really good! And it's a little something different. If you want an appetizer for a party or something... with halloween coming, Thanksgiving and the holidays coming soon... there are lots of reasons to entertain and this is just something fun and different people might like as a snack.
Byeee! Hope this was helpful!
