What do we Americans possibly love more than the Super Bowl? Eating, of course! Much like Thanksgiving, Super Bowl Sunday is a convenient excuse to overindulge in tasty yums. With that, I offer the following suggestion:
7-Layer Nachos
Ingredients:
3 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
1 16 oz. can vegetarian refried beans
1-1/2 cups prepared salsa
1 cup prepared guacamole
8 oz. low-fat or fat-free sour cream
1 Tbsp. mild chili powder
1-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
sliced black olives for garnish
Instructions:
Spread lettuce in an even layer in a deep-dish pie plate, gratin dish or serving bowl.
Spread refried beans over lettuce. (Hint: To make the beans easier to spread, transfer them to a microwave-safe container, and heat on high for 20 seconds.)
Top with salsa, then guacamole.
Stir together sour cream and chili powder. Spread over the guacamole layer.
Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the sour cream layer. Dot with sliced black olives.
Serve with tortilla chips.
