I am so grateful to be responding very well to IV antibiotics and I am continually grateful for modern medicine and all the thoughtful messages and prayers on my behalf. Thank you! I should be released from the hospital in a day or two with my pic line, home IVs and a new hunger for even more delicious food after eating mostly hospital food for days :)! I wanted to make up for being MIA at the end of last week with an unbelievably delicious appetizer of Baked Chili Lime Nacho Mozzarella Sticks. Yes, making up for my absence in a big way. I LOVE nachos. I love them when I feel great and they are one of the only foods I love when I feel not so great. When I was in the hospital this past week, still nauseous and feverish, my sweet in-laws brought me nachos. I couldn’t eat anything else, but for some reason, I could eat nachos. The crispy with the cheesy, smothered in salsa or guacamole is so addicting. In fact, I don’t know if there is a more addicting food?… No, I really can’t think of one right now. So when I saw the idea for fried mozzarella stick wontons on pinterest, I was inspired to wrap mozzarella sticks in egg roll wrappers instead and bake them Mexican style. Instead of brushing the wrappers with plain olive oil, I concocted a spiced coating of olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, onion powder and garlic. Just look at thes spices baking (not fried) into the crispy wrappers! The final product? Mexican spiced crispy, chip-like exterior, with an oozing, gooey mozzarella interior AKA nachos in a stick AKA Chili Lime Mozzarella Nacho Sticks! Smother the Chili Lime Nacho Mozzarella Sticks with either 5 minute Fire Roasted Restaurant Blender Salsa or Cotija Honey Lime Avocado Dip (highly recommend) and you have a huge fiesta in your mouth! These Nacho Mozzarella Sticks are the perfect party appetizer, snack or even side. And they are so easy (wrap, brush, bake), that they can be the star of your fiesta any time you please! And just when you thought nachos were addicting enough?! Tag @CarlsbadCravings and Use #CarlsbadCravngs Leave a Review, I Always Love Hearing From You!
