Once again, I find myself lost in making Mexican food dishes. I am basically a Mexican food groupie. Whenever I go out to a Mexican food
restaurant, I always want to recreate the dish I had. My boyfriend finds this ever so
annoying. I take pictures of my food,
write down ingredients I think it is missing or could make it better, and
alternative ways of cooking it. However,
the one dish that I consistently make the same is Nachos. Nachos are great as a snack or a meal time. Nachos can also be made in large portions,
perfect for sharing or big groups. This
is my take on nachos…a little different from others.
Ingredients:
Tortilla Chips
Cheese
Beans (Black or Re-fried)
Sour Cream
Guacamole
Meat (Steak, Chicken, Pork)
JalapeƱos
Salsa
Cheese Sauce (Homemade)
On a large cookie sheet, spread tortilla chips and sprinkle them
with cheese and the meat of your choice.
Put them in the oven on broil until the cheese melts. After the cheese has melted, add another layer
of chips, cheese, and meat. Also add on
the beans and jalapeƱos. Let the cheese
and other ingredients heat and melt under the broiler. Once everything is melted, bring out the dish
and add the cheese sauce. The cheese
sauce I use is a roux. It can be a little complicated to make, but
it gets easier the more you experiment. Once
your cheese sauce is added, add the salsa, sour cream and guacamole.
This dish definitely takes some time, but totally worth it. You can feed a few people with this dish and
let’s be honest; you can never go wrong with nachos.
