Base

Cheese Sauce

Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese Sauce

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

  2. 2

    Add Milk and Cheese

    Gradually add the milk while continuously whisking to avoid lumps. Once combined, bring to a simmer. Add the cheddar cheese, salt, paprika, and cayenne pepper, stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Layer the Nachos

    On a large baking tray, spread out the tortilla chips evenly.

  2. 4

    Add Cheese Sauce

    Pour the cheese sauce over the tortilla chips, ensuring they are well coated.

  3. 5

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle jalapeños, chopped tomatoes, and chopped green onions over the cheese-covered chips. Finish by dolloping sour cream and guacamole on top.

Final Steps

  1. 6

    Bake the Nachos

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the assembled nachos in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese sauce is bubbly and the chips are slightly crispy.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Serve immediately with additional toppings if desired.
