Not Your Regular Nachos: Black and White Nachos

partysugar — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 10:48:31 -0700

Now that Winter soups are a thing of the past, it's time to move onto a more interesting adventure. Recently I told you about my desire to open a restaurant devoted entirely to nachos, but in order for me to do so, I'll need a repertoire of nachos recipes. So to get started I've created a new feature entirely devoted to nachos!

Not your - not-yo, sounds like nacho - regular nachos, I'll be dishing out more than just tortilla chips and melted cheese. To get things started, I made a classic style dish that used items I already had in my pantry or fridge. To see how I made these black and white nachos, read more.

Black and White Nachos
From PartySugar

The name of these nachos comes from the color of the ingredients, which were mostly black and white.

Ingredients

1 bag tortilla chips
2 cups grated white sharp cheddar cheese
1-2 cooked chicken breasts, chopped into small pieces
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup sliced black olives
1/2 cup sliced jarred jalapenos

Directions

Cover a baking pan with foil. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Arrange a layer of tortilla chips on the baking sheet. Sprinkle a 1/2 teaspoon of cheese on each chip. Spread another layer of chips over the top.
Scatter the chips with the chicken chunks and black beans.
Sprinkle with more cheese, the black olives and sliced jalapenos. Cover with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted, the chips are crisp, and the beans are cooked through.
To enjoy, serve with salsa and Coronas.

Serves 4.

Come Party With Me: End Of Summer BBQ - The Look

partysugar — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 09:41:18 -0700

Usually when I plan a party, I base the colors around the invitation. But this week's invite - for an end of summer barbeque - was a hot dog, and I don't want neutral shades to set the tone for a warm weather bash. So I've decided to use a watermelon as my inspiration and create a look with bright green, hot pink, white, and black. Set the tables with white tablecloths and pink floral arrangements in over sized margarita glasses. Watermelon shaped candles are festive and fun. Plate the nacho potato skins on plates stamped with a watermelon print. Serve the white peach margaritas in classic marg glasses and let guests make their own burgers on lime serving platters. Stack green and pink striped linen napkins next to the food to wipe messy condiments off lips. Night falls earlier at this time of year, so hang green paper lanterns from the trees and deck. Use moss green crepe paper to create garlands and line tables. What decorations are you using this weekend? Share your ideas with us below!
