Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon or Chorizo

    If using bacon, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Lay the bacon strips on a baking tray and cook for about 15-20 minutes until crispy. Remove from oven, drain on paper towels, and chop into small pieces. If using chorizo, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chorizo for about 5-7 minutes until browned and crispy. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Assembling Nachos

  1. 2

    Layer the Nachos

    On a large oven-proof platter or baking sheet, spread out the tortilla chips evenly. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the chips.

  2. 3

    Add Toppings

    Distribute the cooked bacon or chorizo evenly over the cheese layer. Add sliced jalapeños, and then top with the remaining cheese.

Baking

  1. 4

    Bake the Nachos

    Place the assembled nachos in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serving

  1. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the nachos from the oven and let them cool slightly. Top with dollops of sour cream and guacamole, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
