Today I made some delicious grilled nachos. Step one - I cracked open a nice frosty beer!
Then placed charcoal in my grill and started a fire. I soaked some hickory wood chips in water for an hour.
I went into the kitchen an chopped purple onion, garlic, tomatos, green onions, black olives, lettuce, and cilantro.
I started with sauting the onions, and garlic in a cast iron grill pan. I added chili beans, beef and taco seasoning and cooked until browned. Once finished, I transfered to a bed of tortilla chips on a metal grill pan. I sprinkled on some shredded cheddar cheese and placed on the grill. I took the soaked wood chips and placed on the bed of charcoal to create that great smokey flavor. I grilled the nachos until the cheese was nice and melted.
I removed the nachos from the grill I sprinkled on the chopped tomatos, green onions, black olives, lettuce, and cilantro over the top. The finishing touch was a dollop of sour cream. I served with side dishes of chopped jalapeno, salsa, and extra toppings. I grabbed another beer and feasted! It was awesome! Can't wait to do this again soon now that football season is kicking off! SCORE!
