Report
The mild sweetness of the brussels sprouts plays well with the sharp cheese and the heat of the pepper in this new take on a favourite snack.

Ingredients
- 150 g Brussels sprouts about 1 cup, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon bacon grease or butter
- 1 Zest of one lime
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 handfuls black bean tortilla chips or your preferred variety
- 1/4 cup grated extra sharp cheddar or your favorite melting cheese
- 1 fresh chili pepper such as Thai or Jalepeno, sliced thinly
- 1/4 cup guacamole to garnish
- sour cream to garnish
Instructions
- Trip off the outer leaves from the sprouts and give the heads a quick wash.
- Melt bacon grease or butter in a small skillet while you shred the brussels sprouts. Cut them in half, then place them cut side down on your board. With a sharp chef's knife, slice them from the tip down to the core. Discard the woody core.
- Stir fry the shredded sprouts in the fat for 2-3 minute until they turn bright green and wilt slightly.
- Add the lime zest and salt to the pan, stir together and remove from heat.
- On a microwaveable plate, arrange the tortilla chips and sprinkle with cheese. Top with sauteed brussels sprouts and finish with sliced of chili pepper.
- Microwave until the cheese had melted.
- Alternatively, prepare nachos on a pizza pan or pie pan and place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes.
