Rosie Makes Nachos For Middle Hawthorne.

 

Middle Hawthorne loves nachos,

so I'm making a big plateful for him and his little friend.

For the cheese sauce,

I nuked Velveeta cheese,

grated cheddar and Monteray Jack cheeses,

with a little cream.

Stir until smooth.

For my toppings,

I have chopped red onion, sliced black olives,

chopped red cayenne pepper, and chopped jalapeno pepper.

For more toppings,

I have salsa and shredded lettuce.

I browned ground beef,

drained off the grease,

and seasoned to taste with Kosher salt,

freshly ground pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, and cumin.

I spooned the meat into little Tostitos cups.

Then I sprinkled the accoutrements over top

and poured the cheese sauce over everything.
Grate some extra cheddar cheese over top.

Give it a quick trip under the broiler
until the cheese is bubbly.

I love the afternoon light at my kitchen counter.

Add salsa, shredded lettuce, Queso Fresco, and cilantro.

And we have a meal!

I love all the flavors.
