Directions:

For the Chex Mix Recipe: In a small saucepan, melt the butter and add in the sugar and vanilla. Stir to dissolve. In a medium bowl, add in the cereals, almonds, and cranberries. Toss with butter mixture. Gently fold in chocolate chips. Serve. For the Tex-Mex Nachos Recipe: Pre heat the oven to 400 degrees. Heat a large non-stick saut pan to medium high heat. Dice up the carne asada into cubes and cook through. Set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the avocado, tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Place the chips into a large cast iron skillet. Top with the carne asada and cheese. Place into the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Remove and top with beans, sour cream, and olives. Dollop the guacamole on top and garnish with cilantro and limes. Serve with sriacha sauce.
