1524. NACHO CHIPS with BACON, JALAPENOS and CHEDDAR

serves six


6 slices bacon roughly chopped
2 onions finely diced
jalapeno peppers, seeds removed and minced
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 bag restaurant style tortilla chips

Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add bacon. Let brown and then add onions and jalapeno and cook until they have softened and are beginning to caramelize. Cool slightly and then pour into a bowl and add grated cheese. Toss to combine. Spread the tortilla chips in a single layer on a large baking sheet and top each one generously with a spoonful of the cheese mixture. Bake for 10 minutes or so until chips are golden and cheese is melted and bubbling.
