Ever notice how the chewy, soggy, boring nachos you pull out of your microwave just don’t seem to satisfy the craving the way a platter of the cheesy treats do at a restaurant? No worries, I’ve got all you need to create delicious, restaurant-style nachos at home:

Restaurant-Style Nachos

serves 4

Tools:

  • Oven
  • Cookie sheet
  • Tinfoil

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 bag of tortilla chips
  • 2 cups shredded cheese
  • 2 green onions
  • 2 tbsp black olive slices
  • 1/2 tomato
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Farenheit. Place the tinfoil over the cookie sheet.
  2. Spread a single layer of tortilla chips and top with shredded cheese. Continue layering chips and cheese for another 2 or 3 layers.
  3. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
  4. While the nachos bake, slice the green onions, tomato, and (if they aren’t already sliced) the black olives.
  5. Switch your oven to a broiler setting for 2 minutes to make the cheesy extra bubbly. Keep an eye on it the entire time, and remove once the cheese just starts to brown, even if the 2 minutes is not up.
  6. Top with onions, tomato, and olives.
  7. Serve with salsa and sour cream and enjoy!

    I’m assuming that the emphatically underlined “boiler setting” should really be “broiler”? But the rest of the recipe works; it’s nice to have a good base recipe on hand for nachos. It can be hard to get the ratios right for the chz, chips, olives, and salsa. And I add black beans, seasoned with cumin and coriander to mine, and sometimes leftover steak, if I didn’t dessicate it.

    Yummy! Nachos are a football tradition at my house! And you can add refried beans before the cheese for extra protein!
