Quick Fix Night

Has anyone out there ever have one of those days, when you get home and you're just too tired to do much at all, least of all, cook anything? Anyone...? Anyone...?
That many, huh?
Well, I'm ashamed to say that I have those nights often. Here's a quick fix that's satisfying, easy to clean up, and requires no cooking (unless you just want to add that element). You can "fancy" this up as much as you want or just keep it simple. Here's a list of the basics:

Lazy Evening Nachos

Bag of tortilla chips
1 can of refried beans
1 can of cheddar cheese soup
Lettuce
Salsa
Cheddar cheese, shredded
Sour cream

Mix together the beans and cheddar cheese soup, microwave until heated through. While the bean mixture is heating, on each individual's dinner plate, spread a thick layer of chips. Spoon the bean/cheese mixture on top. Tear up some lettuce on top of this, then add some salsa, a little shredded cheese, then top it off with a dollup of sour cream. DONE.

Now, if you have the time or energy, this recipe allows for as much creativity as your mood and taste allows. Here are some ideas so mix and match as you please...

• add a layer of taco beef, sprinkle on some black beans (washed and drained)
• use chedder nacho cheese soup instead of the plain cheddar soup
• add chopped tomato
• use rotel
• stir a little taco seasoning or cumin into the sour cream
• add some guacamole
  

(Nutritional hint - green leaf and red leaf lettuce offer more nutrition than iceberg. It's prettier, too!)

Buenos noches!
