Simple Nachos and Easy Guacamole

Not every time, but the ritual is there for hockey nights - nachos dipped into guacamole, plus a bottle of cool beer.


(serves 2 - 4)
Ingredients:
For Nachos:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 pound lean ground beef
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
salt and pepper to taste
1 bag of tortilla chips
2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 red onion, sliced

For Guacamole:
3 ripe avocados, peeled, seeded and diced
2 tomato, seeded and diced
1/4 red onion, finely chopped
1 tsp ground cumin
4 tbsp lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
hot pepper sauce

Directions:
Brown the ground beef with olive oil in a medium skillet. Drain. Add the chili power, cumin, salt and pepper. Set aside.

Grease a heat-proof platter with oil. Preheat over to 400F.

Spread a layer of chips over the platter bottom, top with half the ground beef, 1 cup of cheese and half the sliced onion. Repeat with another layers of chips, beef, cheese and onion.

Serve with warm nachos.
