It\u2019s my job to keep things interesting around here right? That\u2019s why today is all about Spicy Mexican Mac and Cheese and it has a TORTILLA CHIP CRUST. Let\u2019s get into it!<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Spicy<\/p>\n

Mama Dalkin used to make us something similar to this while we were growing up in Arizona and if you\u2019re a long time reader, you know she was all about quick and easy but delicious meals. It\u2019s one of those dishes that you can whip up in no time and then spend MORE time hanging with friends saying \u201cyes\u201d to summer!! Let\u2019s break it down shall we, plenty of onions and jalape\u00f1os to give it a flavorful base. Chipotle salsa to give it a hint of smokiness! Pickled jalape\u00f1os and green chiles for that zip. And 2 kinds of cheese for that extra gooey mac and cheesiness. And instead of bread crumbs on top, we\u2019re getting crazy with\u00a0TOSTITOS<\/a>\u00ae tortilla chips on top.<\/span><\/p>\n

I mean, why have we never done this before? Life is getting better by the minute since I started this! Could you imagine Tostitos tortilla chip crusted chicken schnitzel? Or Tostitos tortilla chip chicken on top of a taco salad. OMG. I can\u2019t even imagine the goodness. It\u2019s gotta happen soon. This of all the summer themed possibilities?!?<\/span><\/p>\n

This Mexican Mac and Cheese is officially going on the regular rotation this summer! I mean, who wouldn\u2019t want this alongside some grilled nachos or some poolside guacamole!\u00a0 <\/span>Trust me, you won\u2019t want to miss this!<\/span><\/p>\n
