If I could eat nachos a few times a week for a main meal, I’d be totally okay with that. Anything smothered with melted cheese, beans, olives, tomatoes, jalapeños, guacamole and sour cream…. YES, PLEASE. So I know that’s not super realistic, but I’m a major nachos fan, for sure. I decided that Puff Pastry might make a great vehicle for nachos. Turns out I was right. I’m partnering with Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry the next few months to create recipes for my readers, and I also have some very exciting news to share on how you can win a trip to the Pepperidge Farm® Innovation Center in Norwalk, CT by sharing your own idea of creating something delicious with Puff Pastry! Scroll down to the bottom of this post for more info.
This is fun Super Bowl food because you can prepare these ahead, wrap the baking sheet in plastic wrap and refrigerate it. Then, when you’re ready for your nachos, just pop it into the oven. It all starts with Puff Pastry Sheets… just using a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the Puff Pastry into 1-inch squares.
The squares are topped with a smidge of refried beans, a slice of tomato, and an olive…. then they’re placed into the oven to partially bake, then they get a sprinkle of shredded cheese toward the end of baking.
You can certainly eat them like this with all of that fabulous melty cheese…
… but I opted to fancify them and add slices of avocado and jalapeño to each bite.
Sour cream tops it all off to make it a “complete” nacho. I’m totally ready for Super Bowl now, are you?!
