Method

Preparation of Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chips

    Place the corn tortilla chips in an even layer on a large baking sheet.

Cheese Sauce Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for about 1 minute until smooth and bubbly.

  2. 3

    Add Milk

    Gradually add the milk while whisking to prevent lumps. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 4

    Incorporate Cheeses

    Reduce the heat to low and add the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. Stir until the cheeses are completely melted and the sauce is smooth.

  4. 5

    Season the Sauce

    Add salt, ground black pepper, and chili powder to the cheese sauce. Stir to combine thoroughly.

Assembly and Serving

  1. 6

    Assemble the Nachos

    Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the prepared tortilla chips.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top the nachos with jalapeños, diced tomatoes, and cilantro.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Serve immediately with sides of sour cream and guacamole for dipping.
