Pizza Nachos
- 1- 1/2 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, Minced (or Use A Microplane If You Have It)
- 1/2 cups Heavy Cream
- 1/4 cups 2% Milk
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Cracked Black Pepper
- 1 pinch Red Pepper Flakes
- 1/4 cups Parmesan Cheese, Grated
- Your Favorite Crispy Tortilla Chips
- 1/2 cups Garlic Cream Sauce (Recipe Included)
- 1/4 cups Onion, Diced
- 1/2 cups Pepperoni, Cut Into Bite Size Pieces
- 1/2 cups Black Olives Sliced
- 1/2 whole Green Bell Pepper, Seeds Removed, Diced
- 1 cup Colby-Jack Cheese, Shredded
- Start by making your sauce.
- Begin by melting the butter, along with the olive oil on medium to low heat.
- Once melted, toss in the minced garlic, and give a good stir.
- Raise the heat up to medium, to medium-high.
- Add in the cream and milk and give a good stir.
- Keep stirring until it comes to a boil.
- Toss in the salt, pepper, and chili flakes, along with the cheese, and continue stirring.
- The sauce will thicken pretty quick, so continue to stir.
- Once the sauce is thickened, remove from the burner, and set aside.
- When you are ready to make your nachos, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. I used a cast iron fajita skillet for this.
- If you do not have one, dont worry, simply build your nachos on an oven-proof dish.
- First add your chips.
- Drizzle the garlic cream sauce all over the chips.
- Top with the onions, pepperoni, olives, and bell pepper.
- Make sure you get in there and do some great layering, leaving no chip behind.
- Top with the Colby Jack cheese.
- Place in the preheated oven, and cook until the cheese is nice and bubbly and the veggies are warmed through, roughly 7 minutes or so.
- As I sat down in front of the television to watch some football, I said to my wife that these could be my go-to nachos from here on out.
- Something about those deluxe pizza flavors when placed on a tortilla chip just gets your taste buds rocking.
- Give these a try and let me know what you think!
- The great thing about these pizza nachos, much like any nacho, is that you can make them your own way.
- Dont like pepperoni?
- Try something else.
- Dont like olives?
- Try artichokes, or broccoli, or heck, you can see where Im heading.
- Use your imagination.
- I can guarantee you will love them.
- By the way, the garlic cream sauce will keep in the fridge for a handful of days.
- Feel free to use the leftover sauce on a pizza.
