Grilled Picnic Taco Nachos Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-low heat. Tear off 4 18-inch long pieces of heavy-duty foil and put them on a work surface, shiny-side up, with a long end of each piece closest to you. Spray evenly with cooking spray.
• Pile a quarter of the chips on the left side of 1 piece of foil, sprinkle with a quarter of the chorizo, Cheddar and Monterey jack. Dollop with a quarter of the refried beans. Fold over the empty-side of foil and seal the edges to make a packet. Repeat with the remaining foil, chips, chorizo, Cheddar, Monterey jack and beans.
• Place the packets on the grill and cook, covered, until the cheese is melted and the chips are hot, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Remove the packets to a large platter. Careful of steam, open the packets and top each with 1 tablespoon of cilantro, guacamole, jalapenos, salsa and sour cream.

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high heat.
• Double-fold edges of large sheet of heavy-duty foil to make rimmed 12x10-inch tray. Spread chips onto bottom of tray; cover with cheese, onions and peppers.
• Place on center of grill. Turn off burners directly below tray; cover grill with lid. Grill 5 min. or until cheese is melted.
• Top with tomatoes. Serve with sour cream.

Steps:

• Season both sides of steak with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak, turning occasionally, to medium doneness, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 135 to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Transfer meat to a bowl to let it rest.
• Pour a splash of water into the skillet; stir to scrape up browned bits and deglaze the pan. Pour this liquid over meat. Allow meat to cool completely.
• When meat is completely cool slice thickly (about 1/2 inch) with the grain, then cut into thinner strips. Dice by cutting into pieces against the grain. Transfer chopped steak back to the bowl; toss with the pan drippings.
• Melt bacon fat over medium heat in a pot. Add onions and a pinch of the salt; cook and stir until softened, 5 or 6 minutes. Stir in oregano. Add pinto beans and water. Bring back to a simmer and cook until onions are soft and sweet, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
• Mash the beans with a potato masher to your desired consistency. Add additional liquid, if necessary, to achieve your preferred texture. Add the remaining salt to taste. Remove from heat.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Place tortilla chips about 2 or 3 deep in a heat proof pan. (You may need more than one pan.) Top chips with spoonfuls of beans and a generous handful of steak pieces. Sprinkle with grated cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven until cheese is melted and edges start to brown, about 10 minutes.
• Scatter diced ripe avocado, diced onions, diced tomatoes, and diced jalapenos over the top. Drizzle nachos with sour cream and garnish with chopped cilantro.

Steps:

• Place ground beef in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain and mix in taco seasoning mix and water. Continue cooking 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Place processed cheese and milk in a small, microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high until melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir until blended and smooth.
• Place tortilla chips on a large, microwave safe dish. Spread with refried beans. Top with beef and cheese and mixtures.
• Microwave approximately 2 minutes on high, until the cheese has melted into the beef. Top with tomato and green onions. Serve warm.

Steps:

• 1. Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Spray two 30x18-inch pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil with cooking spray. Spread tortilla chips on centers of foil pieces. Mix sausage, chilies and seasoning mix; spoon over tortilla chips. Top with tomatoes and onions. Sprinkle with cheese.
• 2. Wrap foil securely around tortilla chips. Cover and grill foil packets, seam sides up, 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted

Steps:

• Use aluminum foil to make 4 large sheets. Size will vary depending on how big the packets become. You will need enough to completely cover the chips and toppings.
• Spray inside of each sheet with cooking spray so the nachos do not stick. I would still suggest this step even if using non-stick foil.
• Make a pile of nacho chips in the middle of each foil sheet.
• Pile on your favorite toppings from the list above, or create your own (except sour cream).
• Fold over foil on tops to make packets (don't let any of those toppings fall out!) and place on the grill or grate over a low burning campfire.
• Let cook / steam for about 10 - 15 minutes.
• Remove from heat and enjoy! As a note of caution, be careful when opening the packets as they will be hot and steam will be released. Top with sour cream.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except tortilla chips.
• Cover and refrigerate for several hours for flavors to blend.
• Serve with tortilla chips for dipping.
