I received the recipe for these tasty nachos from a co-worker a few years back. They're fun to serve as party appetizers or as the main course at a casual dinner with family. Ingredients:
2 packages (one 8 ounces, one 3 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies |
3 tablespoons chopped onion |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 tablespoon canned chopped jalapeno pepper |
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin |
1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder |
2 cups cubed cooked chicken |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded monterey jack cheese, divided |
1 package (14 ounces) pita bread (6 inches) |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese |
salsa, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, chilies, onion, garlic, jalapeno, cumin and chili powder until smooth. Stir in chicken and 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese.
2. Split each pita into two circles. Spread 1/4 cup of chicken mixture on each circle; place on ungreased baking sheets.
3. Bake at 400° for 5-10 minutes. Combine the cheddar cheese and remaining Monterey Jack; sprinkle over circles. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Cut into wedges and serve with salsa if desired. Yield: 10-12 servings.
