leftover nachos

i am loving this bridal shower that i had almost a week ago!! my fridge is stocked full of delicious leftovers that i can mix and match into great new meals! im like my very own taco bell. they have like 7 ingredients that they combine to make so many delicious menu items and they are always coming out with something new! they are genius and i am imitating their genius in my very own kitchen.

so yesterday i had the most incredible nachos ever. it took about 1:30 secs to whip this masterpiece up.

i used:

leftover pita chips
shredded cheddar cheese -leftover from the mini mac&cheese bites
1/2 jalapeño - leftover from the "less is more guac"

i spread the pita chips on a plate, added the shredded cheddar. popped in the microwave for 30 secs. and added a slice of jalapeño to each pita chip. absolutely amazing and i truly believe it had to do with the pita chips. here is my friend, rebecca's recipe for the pita chips.

Take the pitas (she did 2 batches, one plain and one whole wheat) and cut them open (cut around the rim) so you have two circles.

Then brush with olive oil on the inside portion. Sprinkle with
salt and pepper over the olive oil.

Then stack them and cut them into the
wedges. Cut the stack like your cutting a pizza into 6 slices.

Then put the wedges on a cookie sheet (with aluminum foil on the bottom) and bake at 350
for 10 minutes. Keep a close eye on them because they can burn really easy.

enjoy!!
my camera has yet to be replaced so here is a picture of my puggle puppy cosmo. he loves the nachos as much as i do. i let him lick the plate when im done but no jalapeños for him!
