Bacon and Cheese Potato Nachos
Ingredients
fresh or already baked potatoes
1 Tbsp cumin
1 Tbsp chili powder
olive or vegetable oil
1 large zipper bag
your favorite nacho topping (like bacon or cheese)
Directions
Peel and slice up the potatoes into about ¼ disks.
Add them into the zipper bag and drizzle the oil into it, then add the spices and shake it up, until all the taters are evenly coated!
Grill them up until they’re golden on both sides!
Start layering them onto the skillet, with the cheeses and toppings.
Put them into the oven at 350°F for a few minutes to melt together.
Top them with some sour cream, and any of your favorite toppers!
Directions
Preheat the oven to 250° and position racks in the upper and middle thirds. Toss the popcorn with the roasted peanuts in a large heatproof bowl.
In a large saucepan, combine the brown sugar with the butter, agave nectar, corn syrup and salt and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Boil over moderate heat for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat. Using a long spoon, stir in the baking soda and tequila; the syrup will foam. Immediately pour the hot syrup over the popcorn and peanuts and, using 2 spoons, toss to coat thoroughly.
Spread the popcorn on 2 nonstick baking sheets and bake for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally and switching the sheets halfway through, until golden and nearly dry. Turn off the oven, open the oven door completely and let the popcorn cool completely before serving.

The 7-member troupe rescues items from landfills to create toolbox guitars, a milk-urn bass and numerous re-purposed industrial percussion props. Their singing, break dancing, and comedy leave audiences not only entertained, but inspired. For tickets or information call 928-472-2423 or 303-903-2895 or go to www.tccarim.org.
