I want some good nachos...?

Question

anyone know a good recipe with all the fixin's...

I know it sounds easy to make but I am single 26 yr old male, give me a break.

Answer 1

My kids love them
I cut up corn tortillas(like a pizza) and fry them in a pan of oil (drain on paper towels). I cook up some burger with taco seas.
Layer the chips then top with the beef mix, and load with shredded monterey, colby, chedder or what ever tex mex like cheese you prefer, cook until cheese melts. Take out and add cold toppings such as tomato, onion, lettuce, black olives, etc. serve with sour cream, salsa, etc. You can also top with refried beans before you bake if you want that too.
It is a little bit of work, but it's worth it and tastes as good as a restaurant's. Making your own tortillas is WAY better than opening a bag.

Answer 2

OK, so how's your ability to fry hamburger? If you can do this, and even a 26 yr old single male can do this, trust me I was one once, you'll do fine. When cooking the hamburger, don't forget to put in a packet of TACO seasoning or just use chili powder if that's all you have on hand (but it won't be quite the same taste with the other spices). That's it for the HOT part of the preparation, onto the cold items.

Get a jar of GOOD salsa, to your heat tolerance, some sliced jalapeno peppers (I prefer jarred but canned will work if you can't find a jar), sour cream, black olives, tomato chopped, onions chopped (fresh, not frozen), CHEESE grated or shredded (your choice, I prefer pepper jack), shredded lettuce and whatever other condiment suits your taste. Most of these items are easily obtained ALREADY CHOPPED on your local salad bar at the grocery. Some guacamole is also a good condiment to add AFTER you heat the nachos.

NOW for the main ingredient, the chips. DON'T purchase ones that are already flavored, you're doing that with your spice packet and the cooked ground beef (which by the way you aren't turning into a hamburger, when you cook it just break it up into little pieces and follow the directions on the TACO seasoning packet). Just buy some that are plain, either white or yellow are acceptable but I prefer the BLUE cornchips.

Place the cornchips on a baking sheet or a pizza pan (this looks nice since it's round) and add those toppings that can take the heat (i.e. the cooked meat, the cheese, the olives are OK too but reserve the onions, guacamole, jalapeno slices, lettuce and tomato to add after you bake it). Since all these items are already COOKED (or edible the way they already are) you only need to HEAT it up till the cheese sort of melts.

Put your cold ingredients on (including at least SOME of the salsa) and ENJOY.

NOW if you REALLY don't want to make your own, just go to your local Mexican restraunt and order some either for eat in or carry out.

If you want good nachos, done the way you want them, go to
http://recipes.tasteofhome.com/eRMS/PowerSearch.aspx?search=nachos
and you'll find seventy recipes, ranging from taking 5 minutes to 35 minutes to make and with all kinds of variations.

If you don't want the research, you can take tortilla chips, spread them over a baking sheet and just start putting on the toppings you like. The meat should all be pre-cooked, the cheese should be shredded or grated, and everything should be spread around pretty easily. When you've got it done, put the sheet in a preheated 350 oven until the cheese is melted and everything smells great!

You can't go wrong with Paula Deen- and the recipe title seemed fitting for a 26 year old single guy-


Macho Nachos Recipe courtesy Paula Deen
Show: Paula's Home Cooking
Episode: Ball Game





1 can refried beans
1 large bag white corn tortilla chips
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup shredded pepper jack
1 jalapeno, sliced crosswise, plus extra for garnish
1 can chili, or your favorite chili recipe
1 cup shredded Cheddar
1 cup sour cream
1 cup green onion, chopped
1 tomato, diced

Have all the prepped ingredients easily accessible to assemble nachos.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a small saucepan over low heat, cook refried beans until they are loose enough to spoon onto nachos. On a large ovenproof platter, spread out a layer of tortilla chips and quickly put a teaspoon of hot refried beans on each chip. Working quickly, sprinkle with some onions, jack cheese, and jalapeno slices. Spoon on chili and top that with Cheddar. Repeat this layering process until ingredients are used up. Save some of the jalapeno slices for garnish. Place platter in the oven and bake until cheese has melted, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and place on a trivet or heatproof surface. Top nachos with sour cream, green onions, diced tomato and jalapeno slices and serve hot.

Answer 5

Brown some ground beef, drain, stir in some salsa. Heat refried beans. To me it has to be cheese sauce, not shredded cheese. Heat that too. Layer some tortilla chips, spread the beef, beans, and cheese sauce. Then its up to you. There are a million combonations of toppings. I prefer, tomatoes, black olives, green onions, and sour cream. Alot of people like lettuce too.
Another way to do the beef is add the powder taco mix and water. That's good too. Nachos are one of the world's best foods.

Answer 6

The way they are made in El Paso, TX and Juarez, MX:
Spread tortilla chips w/ refried beans. Sprinkle liberally with a good cheese: Cheddar, asadero, or a combination of jack and cheddar. Sprinkle liberally with sliced pickled jalapenos. Broil until cheese is melted.
