Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare Tortilla Chips

    Cut the corn tortillas into triangles. Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tortilla triangles in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Nachos

    On a large baking sheet, spread out the fried tortilla chips in an even layer. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese generously over the chips.

  3. 3

    Add Toppings

    Add the pico de gallo and jalapenos evenly over the cheese-covered chips. If using, add the cooked ground beef or shredded chicken at this stage.

  4. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. 5

    Final Touches

    Remove from the oven and add sliced avocado on top. Drizzle with beer cheese if using.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot with extra pico de gallo and jalapenos on the side.
