Food to Daydream About

I was watching TV last night and I found myself thinking about food. Very yummy food. I was trying to decide if I was actually hungry, bored, or thirsty. It was 10 pm so I wasn't convinced I need to eat something just before bed. The final decision was when I thought of nachos and seriously considered making them. I knew I needed to get to bed before I had a tummy full of cheese and tortilla chips.

There was a moment last night when I realized I had everything you could want for nachos in my fridge. It was what really convinced me I need to get to bed before I ended up with a full tummy and regrets. It wasn't a very hard decision to make nachos for lunch today.

Obviously, you need some tortilla chips. If you shop at Costco you can get a life time supply.

Now I add some chopped onion. When I microwave this, the onion will soften and become milder just a bit but still have that nice flavour.

Now the cheese, add as much or as little as you like. I find I like just an even layer so that there is a bit of cheese on most chips and no pools of runny cheese.

Now to get creative. Add some heat, if it doesn't hurt it doesn't count... just kidding. But what are nachos without jalapenos?

If I was making these for someone else I would leave them whole so they could see them, for myself I wanted more pieces so I get a bit with most bites.

Toss those on and into the microwave for 30 seconds.

Chop up some fresh tomato and return to the microwave for another 30 seconds or until all the cheese is bubbly. I wanted the tomatoes to be warm but not cooked.

Serve with salsa and sour cream for dipping and you'll be in heaven!

We have been known to have this for supper. I would add ground beef seasoned with a taco spice packet. Green onions and olives are also delightful. Just think of your favourite restaurant nachos and go from there!
