Matt’s Chili Nachos

You have to love this chili – Matt’s Chili with Chipotle Peppers, not only can you eat as a typical chili, but you can morph it into two more meals, this one and Matt’s Chili over Pappardelle Pasta. This recipe will make two servings like the one shown in the picture. Make two servings at the same time if entertaining a large group, or make one dish, let your guests graze and then make another one later. This will make sure the nachos will be warm and not soggy. This recipe uses a leftover chili – Matt’s Chili with Chipotle Peppers and needs to be made ahead of time to make this recipe.

Ingredients

4 cups Matt’s Chili with Chipotle Peppers
2 avocados diced see How to Cut an Avocado if needed
2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
Garnish

Technique

Top with one of the diced avocados, 1 cup of the cheese and garnish with a ¼ cup of the sour cream mixture and cilantro and serve family style. Repeat for second dish, if serving.
