Ingredients

  • 1- 1/2 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
  • 1/2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Minced (or Use A Microplane If You Have It)
  • 1/2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 1/4 cups 2% Milk
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 pinch Cracked Black Pepper
  • 1 pinch Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1/4 cups Parmesan Cheese, Grated
  • Your Favorite Crispy Tortilla Chips
  • 1/2 cups Garlic Cream Sauce (Recipe Included)
  • 1/4 cups Onion, Diced
  • 1/2 cups Pepperoni, Cut Into Bite Size Pieces
  • 1/2 cups Black Olives Sliced
  • 1/2 whole Green Bell Pepper, Seeds Removed, Diced
  • 1 cup Colby-Jack Cheese, Shredded

Method

  • Start by making your sauce.
  • Begin by melting the butter, along with the olive oil on medium to low heat.
  • Once melted, toss in the minced garlic, and give a good stir.
  • Raise the heat up to medium, to medium-high.
  • Add in the cream and milk and give a good stir.
  • Keep stirring until it comes to a boil.
  • Toss in the salt, pepper, and chili flakes, along with the cheese, and continue stirring.
  • The sauce will thicken pretty quick, so continue to stir.
  • Once the sauce is thickened, remove from the burner, and set aside.
  • When you are ready to make your nachos, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. I used a cast iron fajita skillet for this.
  • If you do not have one, dont worry, simply build your nachos on an oven-proof dish.
  • First add your chips.
  • Drizzle the garlic cream sauce all over the chips.
  • Top with the onions, pepperoni, olives, and bell pepper.
  • Make sure you get in there and do some great layering, leaving no chip behind.
  • Top with the Colby Jack cheese.
  • Place in the preheated oven, and cook until the cheese is nice and bubbly and the veggies are warmed through, roughly 7 minutes or so.
  • As I sat down in front of the television to watch some football, I said to my wife that these could be my go-to nachos from here on out.
  • Something about those deluxe pizza flavors when placed on a tortilla chip just gets your taste buds rocking.
  • Give these a try and let me know what you think!
  • The great thing about these pizza nachos, much like any nacho, is that you can make them your own way.
  • Dont like pepperoni?
  • Try something else.
  • Dont like olives?
  • Try artichokes, or broccoli, or heck, you can see where Im heading.
  • Use your imagination.
  • I can guarantee you will love them.
  • By the way, the garlic cream sauce will keep in the fridge for a handful of days.
  • Feel free to use the leftover sauce on a pizza.
