April 27: Macho Nachos

These multi-layered nachos are loaded with cheese, olives, chili, and sour cream, so no chip is left uncovered!
1 can refried bean
1 lg bag white corn tortilla chips
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can chili
(use vegetarian, beef, or turkey chili)
1 c shredded Pepper Jack cheese
1 c shredded Cheddar cheese
1 c sour cream
1/2 c green onion, chopped
1 tomato, diced
1 jalapeno sliced

Preheat oven to 350. Have all ingredients prepared and ready to assemble nachos. In a small saucepan on low, heat refried beans. On a large oven proof platter, spread out tortilla chips and quickly put a teaspoon of hot refried beans on each chip. Working quickly, sprinkle with onions, jack cheese, and jalapeno slices. Spoon on chili and top that with Cheddar cheese. Repeat this layering process until ingredients are used up. Place chips in the oven at 350 until cheese has melted. Remove from oven and place on a heatproof surface. Top nachos with sour cream, green onions, diced tomato and jalapenos and serve hot.
