Feijoada Nachos
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 sweet red bell pepper, cored, seeded and diced
- 1 white onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 pound dried Spanish chorizo, diced
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 15-ounce cans black beans, undrained
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- Salt, to taste
- For the Pico de Gallo:
- 4 beefsteak tomatoes, cored and diced
- 1/2 cup diced white onion
- 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 jalapenos, stemmed and chopped
- Salt, to taste
- For the Nachos:
- 8 6-inch corn tortillas
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/4 pound Manchego cheese, coarsely grated
- 1/4 pound Monterey Jack cheese, coarsely grated
- 4 radishes, thinly sliced, for garnish
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced, for garnish
- 1. Make the feijoada: Preheat oven to 375u0b0. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper and onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic, chorizo and bay leaf and cook until the chorizo has crisped, about 3 minutes. Add the pork, beans (with their liquid), red pepper flakes, cumin and coriander, bring to a simmer, and cook until the pork is just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and keep warm.
- 2. Make the pico de gallo: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapenos and salt and toss until everything is well incorporated. Set aside.
- 3. Make the nachos: Place the tortillas on a baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, brush the tortillas on both sides with the oil. Bake until the tortillas begin to get crispy and turn golden brown, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle the tortillas with cheese and continue to bake until the cheese has melted, about 4 minutes. Let the tortillas cool briefly, then break each tortilla into roughly 3 large pieces and transfer to a platter.
- 4. Top each tortilla piece with some of the feijoada, pico de gallo, radishes and scallion and serve.
