A somewhat unhealthy food, but sinfully good.

What are your favorite toppings?

We like making our own homemade ones with Tostitos cheese dip, salsa, yogurt (as a healthier sub for sour cream), home-cooked ground beef (recipe I got from my mom!), and pickle relish.

I don't add olives cause few of my friends like it.

IB, upload the image to photobucket or some similiar site then link it...we should be able to see it then.


I love nachos! We usually make them once a month or so, with everything homemade if possible.
We like to top with extralean ground beef and/or chicken, green peppers, jalepeno, black olive, shredded cheddar and mozzarella, diced tomatoes (sorry Quis!!), and occassionally black beans. Served with salsa and sour cream on the side.

Personally I'm into the no-frills basic nachos. Some lime-touched chips with pepper jack melted over them.


First comic books ever bought: A DC four-for-47-cents grab bag that included Adventure #331. The rest is history.

Thanks, Viridis. I'm a bit lazy to create a Photobucket account so maybe next time tongue

PS - all your nacho "recipes" sound really awesome.

You just mentioned the one thing I forgot in my description! I always use chips with a hint of lime - it makes a really big difference!

Chips, light or dark.

Beef, chicken, pork, bay shrimp, or whatever. So long as it's not greasy.

Beans, pinto or black.

Cheddar or jack.

Homemade salsa. Fruit salsas like mango or pineapple are best with shrimp or pork.

Maybe guacamole, if I'm industrious enough to make it, and a few drops of sour cream or yogurt.

Keep your damn olives to yourselves. tongue

Here in Texas, we're more likely to have tortilla chips with chili con queso (universally called "queso") than nachos. I can't remember the last time I had nachos, but it's not a party here without queso. laugh

I am so, so hungry.

What I love most about nachos is that you can mix and match with them!

Cleome, I've tried mango salsa before but never pineapple. Never had nachos with shrimp, either. I so want to.

Rocky, mmmmmmmm. Chili con queso sounds awesome.

The nacho cheese is pretty expensive over here though,but so worth it.

How have I missed such a vital thread!?

My nachos are pretty simple. Sprinke the cheddar cheese over the chips, and microwave till the cheese is all melty. Then I dip each chip (as I eat it) in refried beans, sour cream, and i place a bit of black olive on it. Yummy, if not terrible healthy.

I've only rarely tried nachos with refried beans, and the taste was AWESOME. I wish refried beans were more common here.

I usually sub the sour cream with plain yogurt. It doesn't taste exactly the same, but it's a good enough substitute and the yougrt gives it a certain sweetness.

Time to make the nachos! (Yes, it takes some elbow grease to do the chips from scratch, but it's okay. At the end I get margaritas from the spouse. I WILL persevere. Back in an hour or two!)

Microwaved nachos are great. It must have been what that machine was invented.

I avoided having a microwave for about 13 years partly because I tend to make nachos. Since then I realize I tend to just eat the chips and cheese separately anyway, so I go ahead and make them. Seems I eat a little less in nacho form, overall.

My friends and I microwaved Doritos with cheese on top a while back. It tasted pretty good, but still can't hold a candle to real nachos with beef and salsa.

Haven't decided totally yet. But so far, they shall include cheddar cheese (in that kind of a mood), roasted chicken (Lady Cobalt roasting a chicken as we speak), black olives, possibly a light sprinkle of green olives though that is up for a last minute deciz, and then on my wife's 1/3rd jalapeno peppers & banana peppers. I love peppers but can't eat them anymore, otherwise I'd throw them on.

Sour cream on the side. Possibly chilli but it might not be necessary. I think we've kind of hit the limit where any more than that violates the 'less is more' approach that I've become a believer in.

For the black olives, first I eat them with my son so we can put them on his fingers (getting the ones without the pits) which he thinks is funny. Then I save the rest for late for the 'chos.

Ingredients, in reverse order:
Sour Cream
Salsa
Guacamole
Cheddar/Pepper Jack Cheese
Black Beans
Ground dark meat turkey cooked with Herdez Chili Verde sauce
Home baked white corn chips (just brush on some olive oil and a sprinkle of Kosher salt before baking)

The salsa I made the other night contained two bright orange tomatoes from our backyard garden. They're actually called "Kellogg's Breakfast" of all things.

So we ended up with what looked like mango salsa, even though it was tomato. Really great.
