"This is an easy, delicious appetizer for two. Try to use the thinnest tortillas you can find as they work best in this. I found this in "The Border Cookbook""

A nice twist on the usual nachos. I used a pepper jack cheese instead of the plain Monterey jack. I love fresh salsa, and added salt and pepper to the tomato salad. This was a simple lunch for myself on a Saturday. It would be so easy to put together for drop in guests, too.

I made these crisps this past weekend, and served them as a side dish with chili. I used 1 t each of oil and vinegar, and those amounts were just right. Easy and very tasty, and a recipe I will use often.
