Nacho Average Nachos

My sister and brother in law were having a Hatch chili pepper roast at their house and I needed to bring something.  So I saw this idea on Pinterest. Yes I am guilty of being a crazy pinner and I love all the ideas and recipes that I get from that site!  They are bite size nachos that are made in a mini muffin pan and they are AWESOME!!  I pretty much already have the general idea of what I like nachos to taste like so a recipe was not necessary.  Go ahead and get your pan on the stove top, turn up the heat to medium and lets get to cooking.  

• 1 pound of hamburger meat (I used 96% lean)
• 1 TB minced garlic ( I used it from the jar but fresh cloves is definitely the way to go)
• Cyan Pepper for a little kick ( As much or as little as you want depending on how spicy you want it)
• 1 TB Italian SeasoningSalt & Pepper to taste

I had an extremely good looking helper in the kitchen this afternoon =) My Hubby!

So once the meat is browned and cooked through add 

• 4 oz cream cheese
• 1 small can of diced green chilies (you can choose heat preference as well)
• 1 can of rotel
• 1/2 a can of refried beans

Once you get everything mixed in I continue to leave it on the heat stirring occasionally while I put the wonton wrappers in the mini muffin pan.  I lightly spray the pan with olive oil and once I get the wrappers placed I spray them as well. The mix of the heat from the baking and the oil give them that bubble look as if they had been fried!

You do not need a special gadget for this next step.  Grab the nearest spoon and start filling the wrappers.  You want to fill them with as much as they will hold.  They hold up very well during and after baking so don't be scared about over filling!  

You do not want to bake these at to high of a temperature because they brown very quickly so low and slow is the way to go to ensure a crunchy bottom.  Bake at 375 degrees for 17-20 minutes watching the edges to make sure you don't over cook.  If you notice a lot of browning on the points of the wrapper before you are ready to pull them use the old pie trick and cover it with a piece of foil.

Once they are out of the oven top with a mexican mix shredded cheese and serve immediately.  You can set up along side them a variety of toppings such as sour cream, pickled jalapeños, salsa, guacamole and queso fresco which is good on everything!  Don't take this recipe to serious.  Have fun with it and add everything but the kitchen sink to this.  It's a fun, easy, cheesy and delicious recipe that definitely will be the talk of the party =)
