How to Make Nacho Ensalada Con Chipotle Y Bulgur

  1. Boil 1 cup of water in a small saucepan. Once boiling, remove from heat, stir in 1/2 cup bulgur wheat with a fork, cover, and let stand for 20 minutes.
  2. Finely dice 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (adjust to your spice preference). Stir into the cooked bulgur.
  3. If using chorizo (optional): Finely chop 4 ounces of chorizo or pulse in a food processor until finely ground. Brown in a frying pan over medium heat for 5-10 minutes.
  4. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1 teaspoon adobo sauce from the chipotle peppers.
  5. Preheat your broiler.
  6. Layer the following on a broiler-safe serving platter: 10-12 corn tortilla chips, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, the bulgur mixture, and another 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove from the broiler. If using chorizo, spread it evenly over the melted cheese.
  9. Top with 2 cups shredded lettuce, 1 cup chopped tomatoes, 1 ripe avocado, sliced, and 2 tablespoons chopped green onions.
  10. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional) and serve immediately with your favorite salsa on the side. Enjoy!
