Nibbles and Nails at Hot Tamale's

The sanctity of Girls Night - sassy ladies, crazy cackles, empty glasses of vino around a table at Hot Tamale's that unites us all - nibbly appetizers from wedges of brie, Balderson white cheddar, McEwan crostini (thanks Gourmette Tang!), frozen PC finds of sausage rolls, mini spanikopita and the piece de resistance: the heaping Nacho Platter!  Without men, we seem to let it all spill out - raunchy stories, funny tidbits and cultural queries abounded all while snacking and laughing and eventually doing our nails in the latest fall colours.  Here's a recipe for the nachos we feasted on - a hit at any old party and super easy even Hot Tamale handled it with cool:




Hot Tamale's Easy Nacho Platter (appropriated and "interpreted" from the back of the Tostitos bag):

The goods:
1 bag of Tostitos (Hot Tamale preferred the small round, fits in your mouth in one gulp variety)
1 small jar of salsa
2 green onions chopped
1/2 tomatoes chopped
1bag of Kraft Tex Mex pre-shredded cheese

The demarche:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and put the broiler on

Place one layerof Tostitos on a foil-lined baking pan

Add one layer(two handfuls)of cheese

Add one layer of salsa

Add a sprinkling of green onions

Repeat with multiple layers until Tostitos are finished, leave a handful of green onions to garnish

Place in oven for 10 minutes

When cheese is melted, take out of the oven and top with green onions and tomatoes

Serve with sour cream and guacomole (if you're lucky, the home-made variety)

Enjoy Ladies!
