  •   1 pound Mexican chorizo, removed from casings and crumbled
  •   1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  •   1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  •   2 cups cooked pinto beans
  •   1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  •   1/4 teaspoon salt
  •   Water
  •   Homemade Tortilla Chips, recipe below, or large, restaurant style corn tortilla chips
  •   1 1/2 cups grated pepper jack
  •   1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar
  •   1 small white onion, sliced into thin rings
  •   5 large jalapenos, stemmed, seeded, and chopped, or to taste
  •   1 cup sour cream
  •   1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  •   Chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, cook the chorizo, garlic, and cumin, stirring, over medium-high heat until the sausage is browned and the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. To the fat in the pan, add the pinto beans, chili powder, salt, and 1 to 1 1/2 cups water (depending on the moisture in the beans). Cook over medium heat until warmed through, smashing with the back of a heavy wooden spoon or potato masher until chunky/smooth. Remove from the heat.
  2. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  3. On a large, oval ovenproof platter or in a large baking dish, spread 1 layer of chips. Top with a layer of 1/2 of the beans, then 1/2 of the sausage, cheeses, onion rings, and chopped jalapenos. Repeat with another layer of chips, beans, sausage, cheese, onions and jalapenos. Bake until the cheeses are melted and the mixture is hot, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and lime juice, with a pinch of salt. Drizzle over the nachos, garnish with cilantro, and serve immediately.

This is the most awesome Macaroni & Cheese that we have ever eaten. It is a family favorite and we have it once a week. All four of my kids request it often, and my husband thinks it's incredible. Hope you enjoy this comfort food. (Be sure to use EXTRA SHARP cheddar!)

These are delicious and so easy to make. If you make your own Chili (it freezes well in small containers), you will have it to make these any time or use another chili recipe. There is really no specified amount that you can make. Just use the three ingredients and as much as you want of all of them and enjoy.
