We’re going out for Sunday lunch in a couple of weeks, but I know that in the evening I’ll have 2 men who’ll still be hungry. I’m thinking of nachos but with a bit of a twist. No beef (they’d hate that) but the usual peppers, toms & onion. I’ve seen a recipe which makes a base of finely broken corn chips, mixed with finely grated cheese, and then some butter added. I picture it a bit like a cheesecake base. You refrigerate it for a while then (& this is where I want to deviate) bake it - maybe 10 minutes. I’d then sprinkle the chopped veg, grate a little more cheese & quickly bake or grill. Afterwards, dollops of guacamole and sour cream.
The reason I’d like to try this is that all too often the toppings don’t seem to cover the tortilla chips, no matter how much I prepare. Also, I can have the base ready to cook - or if they prefer we can go for gazpacho as I can use the same crudités.
Am I mad? I can’t try it first as there’s only me to eat the base. And what timings would you suggest? I’d really appreciate your input.
