TOP SECRET RECIPES | CHI-CHI'S NACHOS GRANDE



Top Secret Recipes | Chi-Chi's Nachos Grande image

Menu Description: "Seasoned beef, refried beans and cheese."  Marno McDermott was a successful Minneapolis restaurateur, opening a chain of Mexican restaurants in the seventies called Zapata's against the advice of skeptics who said he would never be able to sell Mexican food to the large population of Scandinavians in the area. Marno proved them wrong then, and once again in 1976, when he partnered with Max McGee, a former Green Bay Packer football player, to open the first Chi-Chi's in Richfield, Minnesota. The restaurant was built inside a deserted Kroger grocery store and became instantly famous for the intensely flavored and larger-than-usual portions of food. To keep volume high, Chi-Chi's designed a custom computer-driven system that clocks every aspect of service from the time each server enters an order to when the order is placed in front of the customers. Special attention was given to the design of the menu items as well, with each dish taking no more than nine minutes to prepare, even during the rush hours.  At the restaurant you can order the Nachos Grande with beef, chicken, seafood or a combination. This recipe will show you how to make the beef and chicken versions. Source: Top Secret Restaurant Recipes by Todd Wilbur.

CHI CHI'S SEAFOOD ENCHILADAS RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Chi Chi's Seafood Enchiladas Recipe - Food.com image

I spent 16+ years at Chi Chi's. This is the recipe you want. In the restaurant these are cooked right on the plate. (Remember... The plates are hot and then you touched them anyway. lol) You could cook them all together in a baking dish. Cook time and temperature may need to be adjusted if not cooking with a convection oven. Enjoy with your favorite spanich rice, refried beans and sweet corn cake.

Total Time 52 minutes

10 (6 inch) flour tortillas, old mission restaurant style
