Tortilla Chips
Nacho Toppings
Method
Prepare Tortilla Chips
- 1
Fry the Tortilla Chips
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Cut the corn tortillas into quarters. Once the oil is hot, carefully add a batch of tortilla pieces to the oil. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while still hot. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Layer the Nachos
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). On a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter, spread a layer of the fried tortilla chips. Spoon the refried beans evenly over the chips, followed by a generous layer of shredded cheese. Add the cooked meat of your choice on top of the cheese.
