Instructions

Pico De Gallo:

Combine the pico de gallo ingredients in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Fresh Corn Nachos:

Line a 15 x 10-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Arrange tortilla chips in a single layer on prepared pan.
Sauté the onion in butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in the corn, green chiles, water, chili powder and cumin. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, for 5-6 minutes or until corn is tender. Remove from the heat. Stir in turkey and black beans.
Spoon corn mixture over chips. Sprinkle with muenster. Broil 6 inches from the heat for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Top nachos with pico de gallo and sour cream.

Recipe Tips

Avoid touching face when handling jalapeno peppers. Consider wearing gloves, as oils may burn skin.| Your favorite prepared salsa or pico de gallo can be substituted for the salsa cruda.

Cheesemonger Tip

Do you have questions when shopping for cheese? Ask the cheesemonger! A cheesemonger specializes in the buying and selling of high-quality cheese, usually available in the specialty section of a grocery store or cheese shop. Knowledgeable and passionate, a cheesemonger is a go-to resource for cheese varieties and pairings, proper cheese storage and handling, its cooking applications and cheese brand information.

Klondike's Muenster is an award-winning cheese. Young muenster is mild in flavor and has a creamy texture. When aged, the cheese becomes creamier with a slightly pungent flavor.
