Macaroni-and-Pimiento Cheese Bites

Two-Cheese Veggie Nachos
Recipe
We love the double-cheese contrast here: Shredded cheese melts into a bubbly blanket over the tortillas, while crumbly queso fresco covers the veggies with a salty kick. It’s an impressive dish for coffee table dining–it’s fun to keep it all on the baking pan and serve as a shared platter.
