Gourd-geous Halloween Nachos
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 40 min. Broil: 5 min.
YIELD: 10 servings.
My family loves nachos so much that I sometimes serve them for lunch. To get in the Halloween spirit, I used a pumpkin cookie cutter to cut out chips from pita bread. You can change the cutter shape to match any theme.—Kim Van Dunk, Caldwell, New Jersey
