These nachos were so colorful and made a great presentation for a quick snack. I did back mine in the oven at 400 for about 10 minutes to try to keep them crisp. However, they did get a little soggy on the bottom which I was surprised at. I don't do a lot of microwave cooking and just felt more comfortable using my oven. There could be so many variations of this recipe. Thanks for sharing. Made for PAC Fall 2012 -
Best if made in smaller individual size portions as a baked snack eaten quickly. So good I have them weekly! -
I also baked them in the oven for about 10 minutes. They were good. A little bit healthier with the veggies. I added black olives. Thanks DayJahView :) Made for Name that ingredient tag game

Prior to my ever hearing about the movie Julie and Julia, realeased August, 2009, I came up with an idea to make 52 different Sunday dinners at my house over the course of one year. Present would always be my saintly common-law husband Peter, my beloved 29-year-old son Elijah and his ever-thoughtful girlfriend Sabrina carrying my precious grand-darling Arianna along with any family or close friends who happen to be in town. I only half realized the great challenge before me as I tended to eat a very limited diet on a day-to-day basis. Thanks to Recipezaar I've simplified this challenge somewhat with the ingredient search engine alone. While never copying anyone's recipe exactly, I've been inspired by the volume and variety of delicious-sounding dishes at my fingertips. I Thank all contributors for taking the time to share. I'm approaching week 34 tomorrow. Thus far, based on the kids' weekly ratings, I have two five stars!! I'll publish them soon. In the meantime, Happy Cooking!
