Broccoli Nachos

Bod and I like to eat junk food. I guess its not really 'junk' food, we don't eat sacks of doritos or hohos, we enjoy bar food. Nachos, potato skins, spinach and artichoke dip, fried things.......yum. We have a few rules in our house (maybe a lot of rules?) and maybe rules is the wrong word, because they are more like guidelines for peaceful living. (I fold the socks the way Bob likes, and he puts the seat down.) One of the rules that we agree on is that we don't fry anything at home. We don't own a deep fryer, nor would we ever like to. We bake our chicken and fries. This is so we can eat the bar food that we love, but not get so fat. or dead.

This is a recipe that I came across and modified.

Take some tortillas. cut them into pieces and throw them on a cookie sheet and bake for 5-10 mins, until they get crispy and brownish. If you like, you can salt them or spice them and use some oil to crisp them more, or you can just buy some chips already crisped. 

In a skillet (or in our case, a wok) put a bag of frozen broccoli. Turn the heat up and watch it steam. When it has defrosted, add in some garlic, cumin, chili powder, and a can of cannellini beans. (they're white kidney beans) Mix it up, warm it up then spread it over you chips. Top with shredded cheese and bake @ 400 for 5mins until cheese gets all melty. Top with salsa, guac, sour cream, or whatever you like.

Eat this in front of the TV while watching baseball.

I recommend you pair this dish with a bottle of Kona beer. I'm enjoying mine right now with the Longboard Lager. And its awesome.
