Recipe for Gourmet Nachos?

Mmmm tonight I feel like making myself a big bowl of nachos for dinner but I don't want basic nachos (ie just cheese, sour cream and salsa) I want gourmet cafe` style nachos with lots of different things added to it. Anyone ever had the nachos at Hard Rock Cafe? Something like that.


Don't care how much effort or time to put it together, if anyone has any recipes of ideas of stuff I can throw in them that would be great!

Ingredients:





* 3 oz Tortilla chips (about 2 large handfuls)


* 2/3 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella


* 1/4 cup sour cream


* 1/4 cup guacamole


* 1/2 cup refried beans or whole black beans, drained of liquid


* 1 small tomato, seeded and diced


* 1/2 cup green onions, chopped


* *Optional- Other topping ideas include sliced black olives, white or red onions and jalapeno rings


* *Optional- 1 cup of diced carne asada, carnitas or shredded chicken





Preparation:


Pre-heat broiler on high.





Heat refried beans over low heat until bubbly. Place half of the chips on an oven proof pie plate and cover with half the cheese. Carefully add the rest of the chips topped with the remaining cheese. Place under the broiler for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Carefully remove chips from broiler and drizzle on beans. Then add dollops of guacamole, sour cream and lastly, sprinkle on the tomatoes.





*If adding meat, freshly cooked is the best option, or re-heat pre-cooked meat until piping hot. Add right after the beans layer.Recipe for Gourmet Nachos?

ok use good chips, instead of just beef, use ground pork, beef, and veal the best. Cool it off season with the good stuff.(garlic, onion, peppers, herbs, salt and pepper, paprika). tomato, and any other vigies you want. And instead of the regular chedder and motz cheese get some good stuff, smoked guda, brie, boursin or something like that. or you can just get a good chedder.





Hope this helps *
I've always liked roasted garlic cloves in mine.





Crumble some blue cheese on it after it is made (don't melt the blue) adds a nice kick, too.
