Nacho Boats

     Between all the sports games and the holidays coming up, I decided to give you all a simple but very tasty snack to make.  The original idea was started by my mother but I have greatly modified it since then.  So sit back and learn how to make Nacho Boats.

Ingredients:
Tostitos Scoops tortilla chips
Shredded Cheese (I like to use Kraft 4 Cheese Mexican Blend, not the one with taco seasoning)
Salsa
Shredded Lettuce (you can buy a bag of lettuce shreds or do it yourself)
A small can of sliced black olives

Directions:
1) Place as many whole tortilla scoops as you can on a plate, I did a small plate for show.

 2) Fill the scoops as much as you can with shredded cheese, don't worry if you get a little on the plate, it's pretty easy to clean up.

3) Add a dollop of your favorite salsa on top of each pile of shredded cheese.

4)  Put in microwave and heat for just long enough to melt the cheese; it could up to a minute for larger plates.

5) Add a layer of shredded lettuce to each scoop of melted cheese.

6) Top each scoop with a sliced olive (you could also do a sliced jalapeño for more heat)

 

7) Eat and enjoy!

It's quick and easy, but is really tasty.  Since each nacho boat can be easily picked up and eaten without making a mess, it's a much cleaner version of nachos for when you just want a simple snack.

Enjoy!
