For nachos, I use refries, taco meat, on top of corn tortilla chips, put the chips on a baking sheet in a single layer, top with spoonfuls of the refries and taco meat. Add shredded Pepper Jack and mild cheddar mix. Bake at 350° until cheese is melted. Then guests are allowed to add whatever toppings they like, shredded lettuce, salsa, pico de gallo, black olives, green onions, tomatoes sour cream, jalapeños, the kitchen sink...

If'n you do it right, it's not junk food! Thanks, Babe!

I take lisinopril for that

Interestingly enough is that Lisinopril was derived from rain forest snake venom.
I'd always heard of the potential for helpful drugs derived from the rain forest, this is one.

Also it's dirt cheap to make.

darn, i wish i saw this thread this past weekend for the super bowl. lots of great ideas.

we ended up doing baked tortilla chips topped with refried and black beans, cheddar and jack cheeses, then baked until melty.

then it was topped with chopped prosciutto, green onions, tomatoes, pickled jalaepenos, sour cream, and cilantro. side of guacamole and salsa for extra piling on.

It's one of those medications Shrek gets for free on Medicare. It costs them more to mail a 3 month supply than the medication costs. But that's okay, his Gila Monster Spit (Byetta) makes up for it.
