Recipe from my cookbook "Lagniappe Leftovers"

Jambalaya Nachos
Ingredients
1 tsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tsp chili powder
1/4 cup water
1 cup leftover jambalaya
1 TBSP tomato paste
Corn tortilla chips
2 cups grated cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese
Jalapeno slices, for topping
Sour Cream and Diced Avocado (optional)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a skillet, over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add onions, bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté for five minutes.
Add the chili powder. Stir for 1 minute to toast seasonings.
Add water to pan, and scrape up any brown bits.
Chop any large pieces of meat, poultry, or seafood in the leftover jambalaya, then add the jambalaya and tomato paste to the pan. Stir well. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
Spread tortilla chips on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon the jambalaya mixture over the chips. Top with cheese.
Bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
Top nachos with jalapeno slices, sour cream, and avocado, if desired.
