Super Bowl Food Ideas For Your Super Bowl 2011 Party

Super Nachos

Nachos are a Super Bowl party food staple, but don't settle for cheeze whiz squirted on top of some stale bagged chip. Simply take a stack of taco-sized medium flour tortillas, and use a sharp knife to cut triangles out of the circles. Pretend you're cutting a pie, and try to get at least 8 uniform triangles. Repeat until you have enough tortilla chips for a big pile of nachos. Fry tortilla triangles in a pot of hot vegetable oil, stirring chips carefully while frying. Check for crispness after 2 mintes; drain on paper towels and sprinkle with kosher salt if desired.

Next, layer whatever toppings you like on top of a single layer of chips, then add another layer of chips. Nobody loves a naked chip! Repeat until your ingredients are used up. We recommend Mexican-blend shredded cheese, sliced black olives, reduced-fat sour cream, seasoned black beans and diced tomatoes. Garnish with green onions and a sprinkle of cumin, chili powder and onion powder. Enjoy!
