Mama Grande Nachos
Quick & Easy Customer Creation by Steve and Kathrynn (Oak Creek, WI)
Preheat oven on 350°. Lay chips out on a baking sheet, so that they touch each other, slightly overlapping. Hint: Don’t pile them up too high, you want each chip to have some goodies on it! Layer Chips with leftover La Luna® Taco Meat, Rice, Beans and Cheese. Bake 5 – 8 minutes or until cheese is melted and ingredients are heated through. Then top with your favorite fixings, serve and enjoy! Hint: Nachos are a great way to use up leftovers when there is not enough left for an entire Taco Night…. Plus kids really love finger foods!
