So, post thanksgiving. Lots of leftover turkey. We have repeated the meal and had countless sandwiches. Time to play in the kitchen and have some fun with the leftover turkey.
What better for lunch on a lazy Saturday than nachos? I cut up some dark meat and white meat. In a saute pan I put lemon juice, lime juice, trader Joe’s enchilada sauce, the cut up turkey and some diced green chiles. I put that on medium heat and mixed it all together.
While that was heating up I laid out the chips on a pizza pan and coated them with refried beans.
I cooked the meat mixture until most of the liquid was gone and had flavored the meat. Then i took it off the stove and spooned it onto each chip.
Top with Pepper Jack and Cheddar cheeses and you are ready to put it under the broiler.
I placed this under the broiler in my oven for just a few minutes. just long enough for the cheese to melt and turn lightly golden on top. I then transfer them to a plate and add some dipping sauce. On this day I went with a sour cream salsa mixture.
I have been making nachos like this for years, each chip individually stacked with all the ingredients. I like them better this way, less messy than a pile of chips with all the ingredients piled on top. And you get every ingredient on every chip!
