Nachos Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Protein

    Cook your choice of chorizo, seasoned ground beef, pork, or chicken tinga in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Queso

    In a saucepan, heat the queso cheese over low heat until melted and creamy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Nachos

    On a large baking tray, spread out the corn chips evenly. Layer the cooked protein over the chips, followed by black beans, pico de gallo, sliced jalapeños, and scallions.

  4. 4

    Add Queso and Sour Cream

    Drizzle the melted queso cheese over the assembled nachos. Then, add dollops of chipotle-lime sour cream on top.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the nachos in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until everything is heated through and the cheese is bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your nachos with extra toppings if desired.
