Take-out Tuesday, Chili Lime Corn & Queso Nachos
You’ve got to try this!
These nachos are crazy good!
I used multigrain and white corn tortilla chips
I used fresh, roasted corn on the cob, but grilled corn would even be better 😋
Lay out the chips in an even layer on a parchment lined baking sheet and sprinkle liberally with cheese
I took a short cut and used bagged shredded cheese, but freshly grated is always better if you have time
Toss corn with lime juice and chili powder and place on top of cheese covered chips
Add lime slices around the edges and sprinkle with the white parts of the scallions and bake
After baking, drizzle hot queso over all
I used a prepared refrigerated queso from the grocery store, but homemade would be even more divine
Garnish with green onion tops and diced avocado and Dig in!

I’m going to gain weight just looking at all of this! It all looks amazing. I just happen to have some pulled pork that I put in the freezer…that would make great nachos. 😉
Happy Thoughts of Home.
I never thought of putting corn on nachos, but it sounds like a great idea! I have lots I got at the farmer’s market, and I need to use it!
