Tortilla Chips

Queso

Method

Preparing Tortilla Chips

  1. 1

    Cut the Tortillas

    Cut the corn tortillas into triangles to form chips.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add the tortilla triangles to the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.

  4. 4

    Drain and Cool

    Remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Making Queso

  1. 5

    Melt the Cheeses

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the Velveeta cheese, cream cheese, diced green chilies, and milk.

  2. 6

    Stir Constantly

    Stir continuously until the cheeses are fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Assembling the Nachos

  1. 7

    Layer the Chips

    On a large serving platter or baking sheet, spread out the fried tortilla chips in an even layer.

  2. 8

    Add Queso

    Pour the warm queso generously over the chips.

  3. 9

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle diced Roma tomatoes, sliced green onions, and black olives evenly over the queso. Add the cooked beef, chicken, or pork on top.

  4. 10

    Finish with Sour Cream

    Drizzle sour cream over the nachos before serving.
