Steps
To prepare the Halloween nachos…
First, prepare the sauce that will be used to dress the tortilla chips. Peel and slice or chop the onion thinly.
In a pan, pour the extra virgin olive oil and heat it, then add the sliced onion and sauté it.
When the onion is golden, add the granulated sugar and deglaze with white wine vinegar, allowing it to evaporate.
Now add the drained jalapeno peppers in brine, the tomato puree, salt, pepper, and a little water. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce is thick.
Finally, place the blue corn tortilla chips in a non-stick tray or lined with parchment paper, top with the prepared tomato and jalapeno sauce, and diced mozzarella for pizza.
Bake the nachos in a preheated oven at 340°F and cook them on fan mode for about 10 minutes until the mozzarella is melted. Serve them hot.
