As you may have noticed I've been somewhat MIA, for the past month, in sharing original recipes on here. I wrapped up my Junior year of college two weeks ago, and started a new internship last Monday while finishing up the one I had been doing during the school year. All these responsibilities along with having family in town and other obligations, have made the last few weeks crazy, and while things are finally slowing down, I can feel myself getting sick. I tried a ginger-garlic concoction my mom recommended and will be sure to share the recipe if it helps!
While doing my Sunday night grocery shopping, I came across surfboard shaped tortilla chips at Trader Joe's, and decided I had to buy them as they would be the perfect base for a fun summer snack.
What's on your grocery list?
- Longboard Tortilla Chips
- Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend
- Shredded Pepperjack (optional)
- Black Beans
- Shredded chicken (buy pre-cooked or make it in a crock-pot)
- Siracha
- Green Onions
- Light Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt (optional)
Instructions:
These Surfboard Snacks require absolutely no measurement, and the serving size is entirely dependent on how many snacks you choose to make (and eat).
To begin preheat oven to 350 degrees, and lay longboard chips flat on a baking sheet with room between them so that they don't bake together. Top chips with a bit of shredded Mexican blend cheese, followed by Pepperjack (if you choose to use it). Then add a little bit of shredded chicken, and some black beans, topping off with more shredded cheese.
Once oven has preheated, place baking sheet in oven and bake for about 5 minutes or until cheese has melted so chicken and black beans stay in place. While chips are baking, slice green onion up for topping. Remove Surfboard Snacks from oven after about 5 minutes, and drizzle with Siracha, and a small dollop of Light Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt, top with green onions and enjoy this tangy and salty summer snack.
