Halftime Nachos Recipes

Steps:

• For the dressing: Whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, honey, garlic powder and cayenne until smooth.
• For the nachos: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut each pita into 8 wedges. Arrange the pita wedges in a single layer on an aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Brush the pita wedges with the oil and sprinkle with the paprika and salt. Bake until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Remove the pita wedges from the oven. Increase the heat to a high broil. Sprinkle the wedges with the feta, bell pepper and red onion. Broil until the cheese starts to melt, about 3 minutes.
• Sprinkle the wedges with the tomato, olives and chives. Transfer the dressing to a squeeze bottle or spoon into a plastic ziptop bag and snip 1 corner to make a small hole. Drizzle the nachos with your desired amount of dressing. Reserve any remaining dressing for another use.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cook the waffle fries according to the package instructions on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Remove the fries from the oven and top with the black beans, bacon and cheese. Return to the oven until the cheese melts and is bubbling, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spray the skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the eggs into the hot skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just cooked and opaque yellow, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• While the eggs are cooking, make the guacamole. Combine the avocados, garlic, lime juice and salt and pepper to taste in a mixing bowl and mash with a fork until chunky. Add the tomato, serrano and cilantro and mix well.
• Remove the fries from the oven and top with the red onion, scallions and cooked eggs. Dollop dabs of guacamole evenly around the nachos. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Begin with warming your fryer to 350 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Fry the waffle fries until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Then lightly dust with salt and place on a cookie sheet or metal pizza pan. Top with the cheese and bacon. Place in the oven until the cheese is completely melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and finish by sprinkling on the tomatoes, green onions and sour cream. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 325 degrees F.
• Cut wonton wrappers in half diagonally.
• Fry wrappers until golden brown.
• Mix tuna, mayo, sriracha, masago, salt and sesame seeds in large bowl.
• Place wonton chips on a serving platter. Spoon spicy poke mixture on top of the chips. Top with aioli and sprinkle on furikake.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• For the meatless chili: Heat the oil in a medium-large saucepan. Stir in the onions and red bell pepper and fry at a gentle sizzle until just starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the kidney beans, plant-based meat, green beans and garlic. Turn up the heat to hear that sizzle and cook, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the tamari, tomato puree, Worcestershire sauce, chili paste, chopped tomatoes and 1/3 cup water. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cook, checking and stirring occasionally, 15 to 20 minutes. The sauce should be rich, tangy and thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Finally, stir in the cilantro.
• For the nacho "cheese" sauce: Heat the oil in a medium pan, stir in the flour and cook, about 1 minute. Gradually stir in the milk using a wooden spoon or whisk to avoid any lumps. Bring to a gently bubbling simmer and cook until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency and coats the back of a wooden spoon, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the nutritional yeast, chipotle paste, bouillon and turmeric, stirring constantly to marry all the flavors, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• For the assembly: Spread the nacho chips on a baking sheet and bake to warm them through, about 3 minutes.
• Spread the chips out onto a platter or in individual bowls. Spoon the nacho sauce onto the warm tortilla chips, add the chili in the middle and top with the jalapenos and cilantro.
