Tortilla Chips

Method

Prepare Tortilla Chips

  1. 1

    Cut the Tortillas

    Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into triangles using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  3. 3

    Fry the Tortilla Chips

    Carefully add the tortilla triangles to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare Toppings

  1. 4

    Cook the Meat

    In a separate pan, cook the ground beef or your choice of meat over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 5

    Heat Refried Beans

    In a small saucepan, heat the refried beans over low heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally.

  3. 6

    Prepare Pico de Gallo

    If not already prepared, chop fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and jalapenos to make pico de gallo. Mix in a bowl and set aside.

Assemble Nachos

  1. 7

    Layer the Chips

    On a large serving platter or baking sheet, spread out a layer of the tortilla chips.

  2. 8

    Add Toppings

    Spread a layer of warmed refried beans over the chips, followed by the cooked meat. Sprinkle Monterrey Jack and Cheddar cheese evenly on top.

  3. 9

    Melt the Cheese

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

  4. 10

    Finish with Fresh Ingredients

    Remove from the oven and top with pico de gallo, guacamole, jalapenos, and a dollop of sour cream.
