In my almost 2 years of marriage I've learned that sometimes I have to cook things that aren't pretty or that I don't think I'll like in order to keep the man happy.
The husband has a strange love of nachos. He gets nachos when we go to movies, he makes special trips to Applebees just for their big basket of nachos (and I sip my strawberry mojito while he eats all of them), and he'll even make his own rotel dip.
This past weekend we went to Chili's because I'm kind of in love with their honey-chipotle chicken crispers and he, of course, ordered their nacho appetizer. Well it came with 8 or 9 "nachos" and it was basically just tortilla chips with melted cheese on top. Needless to say, he was disappointed.
I went on a search for good nachos for him and found a recipe on Tammy's Recipes. It turned out great. I was shocked at how simple and good it was. I will say though that I had to add quite a bit more cumin and chili powder, along with some cayenne. But the end result was much better than I expected and the husband was very excited to come home to nachos.
(I apologize for the picture. Like I said, it's not a pretty dish.)

thank you for the egg muffin link I'm going to try them this weekend they look FABULOUS!
We do nacho dinner once in a while and while in Canada this last weekend I learned a trick. They put a big flour tortilla down on a deep dish pizza tray and then cover it with chips and cheese and such (and pickled peppers which must be a canadian thing) but it kept the tray from getting messy and you got to eat the non stick!
