- 4 Roma tomatoes, seeded and small diced
- 1/3 cup minced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley leaves
- 2 tablespoons capers, 1 tablespoon roughly chopped, 1 tablespoon whole
- 2 tablespoons piquante pepper juice
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic, about 2 cloves
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- Pinch kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1/2 pound ground beef (80/20 lean muscle to fat ratio)
- 1/2 pound Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
- 1/4 yellow onion, small diced, about 1/4 cup
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 8 ounces mozzarella, grated
- 2 ounces hard salami, julienned
- 1 tablespoon julienned basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley leaves
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons sliced pepperoncini, optional
- 3 cups canola oil
- 1 package wonton wrappers, halved
- Kosher salt
Directions
-
1Salsa: Combine all the ingredients in a nonreactive bowl.
-
2Set aside and allow the flavors to marry.
-
3Filling: In a medium-sized saute pan over medium-high heat, add half of the olive oil.
-
4Cook both the ground beef and turkey sausage until cooked through, then remove them from the pan to a plate.
-
5Add the remaining olive oil to the pan and saute the onion until it turns opaque, about 4 to 5 minutes.
-
6Stir in the garlic and cook for 2 minutes longer while preventing it from burning.
-
7Return the meat mixture to the pan.
-
8Combine the ingredients well and set the filling aside.
-
9Toppings: Combine the ricotta cheese and sour cream in a small food processor or blender.
-
10Mix well and pour it into a resealable bag.
-
11Prepare the remaining toppings and hold until you are ready to assemble the nachos.
-
12Chips: In a heavy skillet, over medium heat, heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Carefully lower the wonton wrappers into the oil, in batches, since they cook extremely fast.
-
13As soon as they puff up, make sure you flip them over.
-
14Once they start to brown, remove them to a plate lined with a paper towel.
-
15Sprinkle them with salt as soon as they are out of the oil.
-
16Nachos:
-
17Preheat the oven to a low broil and position a rack approximately 9 inches below the burner.
-
18In a large oven-safe dish, arrange a layer of chips, a layer of meat mixture, (reheat if necessary), and sprinkle everything with some mozzarella.
-
19Repeat this action with the second half of the ingredients, and again finish with the cheese.
-
20Put the dish under the broiler until the cheese has melted, (keep a close eye on this).
-
21Remove the nachos from the oven and top with the salami, fresh herbs and salsa.
-
22Take the bag holding the ricotta/sour cream mixture, and create an instant pastry tip by cutting a hole in the corner of the bag.
-
23Drizzle the sauce over your nachos, sprinkle with the green onions and pepperoncini, if using, and serve immediately.
