I am getting down to the bare minimum in my pantry and fridge making room for Thanksgiving. This is what I came up with using ground beef and masa harina that I had on hand.
Measurements are approximate.
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 1/2 T chili powder
1/2 t each: cumin, Mexican oregano
salt to taste
2/3 cup beef broth
10 corn tortillas, cut into strips and fried crisp
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
In a large frying pan over medium heat cook ground beef and onion til meat is brown. Drain well. Return to pan and stir in garlic and spices, cooking a few seconds. Stir in broth. Simmer 15 minutes, or til liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat. Taste and adjust as desired.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 13 x 9" baking pan with cooking spray.
Layer 1/2 of tortillas in bottom of pan, making sure bottom is covered.
Dollop with 1/2 of meat mixture. Top with 1/2 of shredded cheese. Repeat layers, ending with cheese. Top with sour cream in dollops.
Bake for about 20 minutes or til cheese and sour cream are melted and nachos are heated through.
I served the nachos topped with homemade salsa.

Habanero, hopefully.
And why go to the bare minimum? Are you saying that you need to stock your pantry full of fresh and flavorful things for your picky but thankful for any and all foods family?
SMOOCHES
Hab, of course. Silleh. The last few years we've struggled to find room for everything, plus my freezer is pretty filled with various frozen dishes, so I am letting everything pretty much run out. We can make it til Saturdee when I buy all the goodies for Turkey Day and a few other things.
Hmmm...various frozen dishes. That are hopefully making their way into MY freezer ... right?
Great minds think alike. We had taco salad, and I made homemade tortilla chips from some leftover corn tortillas too. Only I sprayed them with cooking spray and baked. Cal didn't like them. It was quick and easy though:)
heh, i like that ideah, robiyeh
And dad will be here first, so he gets dibs. Knowing him, he'll just want me to cook him some greens.
GMTA GMTA. Cal didn't like them baked?
LOL!
Nice recipe, a little twist on plain tacos or nachos!
