Servings: 8

Preparation duration: 10 minutes

Cooking duration: 18 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1 medium ripe avocado, peeled, de-seeded, and diced into 1/2-inch pieces

about 1 cup bbq sauce

1/2 cup black beans, jalepenos, black olives, or diced bell peppers, all optional

cilantro, sour cream, salsa, guac, pico de gallo, all are optional for garnishing and serving

4 to 5 cups corn tortilla chips, or enough to cover pie dish base with some overlapping

1/2 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

6 ounces shredded (vegan) cheese, divided

1 medium ripe tomato, diced into 1/2-inch pieces

8 ounces chicken(less) nuggets, thawed and diced into 1/2-inch pieces (shredded chicken may be substituted)

Equipment:

pie form

oven

bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat oven to 375F. Lightly spray a 9-inch round pie dish with cooking spray; set aside. Thaw and then dice the chicken nuggets into 1/2-inch pieces. Place nuggets in a medium bowl, cover with about 1 cup bbq sauce, and toss gently to evenly coat. Use enough bbq sauce so the nuggets are really juicy and well-coated. Set bowl aside while assembling the nachos; nuggets will soak up some of the bbq sauce. Add corn chips to prepared pie dish, arranging chips so the base of pie dish is completely covered. Chips need to overlap in places so there aren't gaps. I made a double-layer of chips. Evenly sprinkle about 4 ounces cheese over chips. Evenly sprinkle the tomato, avocado, corn, and any optional toppings. Evenly sprinkle with the chicken nuggets. My nuggets were very moist and drippy, and I drizzled on of the residual bbq sauce from the marinating bowl. Evenly sprinkle with the remaining cheese, about 2 ounces. Bake for about 18 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly, melted, and nachos are done. Baking times may vary widely based on brand and type of cheese used, juiciness of nuggets, moisture level in tomato, avo, corn, if optional ingredients were used, climate and oven variance, etc. Watch your nachos, not the clock. Optionally, garnish and serve nachos with cilantro, sour cream, salsa, guac, pico de gallo. Nachos are best fresh and warm.

Food Trivia

The earliest form of eating processed food occurred in early hunting cultures when the men who made a kill would be rewarded with a meal of the partially digested contents of the stomach of their prey.

Food Joke

A little change On his way back from work one evening, Benny gets hit by a car as he crosses Threadneedle Street and is knocked unconscious. To the bystanders, he looks in a bad way. A Priest happens to be passing and not knowing Benny’s religion, administers last rites. But immediately, Benny`s eyes open and he’s quickly fully awake. "What were you saying to me?" asks Benny. The Priest tells him about the last rites. "I suppose a little bit of a different religion won’t hurt," says Benny, "thanks." Benny can’t wait to tell his family about his experience. When he gets home, he says to his wife, "Yetta, you won`t believe what’s just happened to me." But she tells him, "Later, Benny, later. I don`t have time. I’m late for my supervision meeting. I’ve left your dinner in the oven. See you later." So Benny goes up to his daughter’s room and says, "Leah, you won`t believe what’s just happened to me." But she says, "Sorry, Dad, I’m on the phone planning my weekend. Could you please come back later, and close the door behind you, will you." He then goes to look for his son who he finds driving the car out the garage. "Maurice, you won`t believe what’s just happened to me." But his son says, "Dad, I’m late for a date. I need the car and some money. Can you lend me £100 please? I’ll talk to you tomorrow." So Benny goes back into his house, shakes his head and says, "I’ve only been a gentile for two hours and already I hate three Jews."
