Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray, for the foil
Half 13-ounce bag corn tortilla chips (about 6 ounces)
1 link cooked chorizo, quartered lengthwise then cut in to 1/2-inch pieces
6 ounces freshly grated Cheddar (about 2 cups)
6 ounces freshly grated Monterey jack cheese (about 2 cups)
1 cup refried beans
4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
4 tablespoons guacamole
4 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapenos
4 tablespoons salsa
4 tablespoons sour cream

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-low heat. Tear off 4 18-inch long pieces of heavy-duty foil and put them on a work surface, shiny-side up, with a long end of each piece closest to you. Spray evenly with cooking spray.
  • Pile a quarter of the chips on the left side of 1 piece of foil, sprinkle with a quarter of the chorizo, Cheddar and Monterey jack. Dollop with a quarter of the refried beans. Fold over the empty-side of foil and seal the edges to make a packet. Repeat with the remaining foil, chips, chorizo, Cheddar, Monterey jack and beans.
  • Place the packets on the grill and cook, covered, until the cheese is melted and the chips are hot, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove the packets to a large platter. Careful of steam, open the packets and top each with 1 tablespoon of cilantro, guacamole, jalapenos, salsa and sour cream.

GRILLED TACO NACHOS

Fire up the grill or campfire! These are a staples for our weekend camping excursion trips. We found the basic recipe on Betty Crocker's website then just added to it. I suppose these could be made in the oven, but for some reason they just taste better over a fire. The ingredients here do not need to be exact since you may want to layer your nachos with more or less toppings. This is just the basic start.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

white corn tortilla chips (restaurant style, triangle shaped, salted)
1 lb zesty hot sausage (we like Bob Evans)
1 lb ground beef
2 (4 ounce) cans mild green chilies (or jalapenos if you want extra spicy)
1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet taco seasoning
2 cups salsa
1 bunch green onion, chopped
4 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
8 ounces sour cream
aluminum foil (can use non-stick type)
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Use aluminum foil to make 4 large sheets. Size will vary depending on how big the packets become. You will need enough to completely cover the chips and toppings.
  • Spray inside of each sheet with cooking spray so the nachos do not stick. I would still suggest this step even if using non-stick foil.
  • Make a pile of nacho chips in the middle of each foil sheet.
  • Pile on your favorite toppings from the list above, or create your own (except sour cream).
  • Fold over foil on tops to make packets (don't let any of those toppings fall out!) and place on the grill or grate over a low burning campfire.
  • Let cook / steam for about 10 - 15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and enjoy! As a note of caution, be careful when opening the packets as they will be hot and steam will be released. Top with sour cream.
