    Fully Loaded Tex Mex Nachos {recipe}

    Recipe: Fully Loaded Tex Mex Nachos

    This is stupid. Why am I typing out a "recipe" for nachos?

    As if throwing a pile of tortilla chips on a plate (I prefer the thick, heavy yellow corn tortilla chips for which Tostito's version is called "Gold"), glopping on spoonfuls of full fatty refried beans, blanketing it with Jack and Cheddar cheeses, tossing it under the broiler for about 5 minutes to melt the cheese then attempting to smother the oozing cheese with enough "stuff" requires "directions."

    Stuff to throw on top: chopped fresh red onions, tomatoes and cilantro (or you can just mix those three things together and call it "Pico de Gallo"), sliced black olives, jalapeños, sour cream, and salsa. If all those things are off the shelf that’s okay, but not the guacamole. Let’s not get all trailer-park now.

    The guacamole has to be homemade.

      Nachos aren't really supposed to be artisanal, certified organic creations, are they? It's really about the melted low grade cheese (not Norbert's best Wensleydale) flavored with canned black olives (not hand harvested, single estate beauties from Crete), firm tomatoes (not heirlooms which will juice all over everything and make it soggy) and jalapenos, drinks,and jalapenos, and drinks, and jalapenos, and drinks...

      Yeah, this is the way to do it! Football-stadium style nachos rule. Just give me some cheese sauce and jalapenos...

      Hey Sarah! My friend just clued me in to your site, and I love reading your beautiful writing! And next time you don't have time to make your own nachos, you should try Benitio's "Super Nachos" (with your choice of meat)! Its not on the menu, but if you order it, they'll know what you want! It is delish!! I remember them fondly from late nights after partying in W.LA. I look forward to your next posts to keep me hungry!
