Nacho Ensalada Con Chipotle Y Bulgur

"Nacho Salad with Chipotle and Bulgur. This is essentially a nacho salad with a couple of twists: bulgur doing double time in place of refried beans and rice, and chipotle peppers - hot, hot, hot! This is sensational as an appetizer for 6-8 and hearty as a main dish for 4. The chorizo is optional, as without it this is still a hearty main dish for vegetarians with the bulgur wheat. I created this for the Craze-E cooking contest."

  • Add diced chipotle pepper to prepared bulgur and stir together using a fork.
  • If using chorizo, chop finely or grind in food processor and brown in frying pan set over medium heat, about 5-10 minutes.
  • PREPARE DRESSSING:

  • In small bowl, combine yogurt, lime juice, and 1 teaspoon adobo sauce. Set aside.
  • ASSEMBLE THE SALAD:

  • Place the following layers on a broiler-safe serving platter: tortilla chips, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, the bulgur mixture, a second cup of shredded cheese. Broil for 2 minutes, or until cheese melts. Remove from heat.
  • If using chorizo, layer this on top of the cheese.
  • Next, layer the shredded lettuce atop the melted cheddar cheese or chorizo.
  • Next, layer on chopped tomato, avocado, and green onions.
  • If desired, garnish with cilantro and serve immediately with salsa on the side.

  1. Lighter nachos with a smoky taste, easy to prepare and nutritious. I'd use a better-melting cheese than cheddar next time. This might work better as a tostada, rather than nachos - it was a little hard to eat. I omitted the chorizo and the cilantro.
