Nachos

Cultural Context

Nachos originated in Mexico, specifically in the border town of Piedras Negras, Coahuila, during the 1940s. They were created by Ignacio 'Nacho' Anaya, who served them to American military wives. Over the years, nachos have evolved into a popular snack and party food, especially in the United States, where they are often served at sports events and gatherings.

Quarter the white corn tortillas into triangles.

Heat 1 gallon of vegetable or peanut oil in a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).

3

Deep fry the tortilla pieces for 60 to 90 seconds, flipping occasionally until golden brown.

4

Remove the tortilla chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined baking sheet, immediately sprinkling with kosher salt.

5

In a mixing bowl, add 3 large ripe avocados and mash them with a fork or potato masher.

6

Add diced red onion, juice of half a lime, diced jalapeno (seeds removed), and chopped cilantro to the mashed avocados.

7

Season the guacamole with salt and adobo, mixing well and tasting to adjust seasoning.

8

Refrigerate the guacamole until later.

9

In a skillet, cook 1 pound of ground beef, seasoning with ancho chili powder, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic, and cumin until no longer pink.

10

Taste the beef and adjust seasoning as needed.

For the queso, shred 8 ounces of Monterey Jack cheese and 8 ounces of queso melt.

13

Slowly add cold milk to the roux, stirring until smooth.

14

Reduce heat to low and add the shredded cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.

If the queso gets too thick, thin it out with more milk or chicken stock.

Add a pinch of cayenne pepper and a can of fire roasted Rotel to the queso, mixing well.

17

Set the queso aside once fully combined and melted.

18

On a platter, layer the tortilla chips, followed by the ground beef, guacamole, and queso.
