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 PS - all your nacho "recipes" sound really awesome. Originally posted by the Hermit: Some lime-touched chips with pepper jack melted over them. 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.

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.

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.

^ Oh man, those are some gooooooooooooood nachos, cleome and Cobie!
Last batch I made included:
Salsa, homemade, with tomatoes, onions, lemon (lime would be better but is kinda rare here) and oregano Olives Ground beef using our secret family recipe Yogurt (on a health kick and it tastes surprisingly good) Melted cheddar cheese
Got some good ideas though... I've always used beef, but trying on some other meat sounds awesome.

Dark meat turkey has more fat in it than white, but also more nutrients like Zinc. Its flavor holds up better to the Verde sauce, too. (You can also drain off some of the fat post-browning. Or rinse it in a mesh strainer under warm water briefly before returning it to the fry pan. Then you add the sauce for a short simmer --maybe fifteen minutes or so, uncovered and getting an occasional stir-- but I never remove the fat because it takes the good cooking juices with it.)

Tenzil makes some good nachos. Good thinking of Ayla to bring some home from the 20th century!
I just hope it's really synthesized beef that he's using...

Should we be questioning why you keep getting the nachos? Or is it like gambling, in that the few times they're good they're very very good?
That intermittent payoff is the most addictive I hear.

I love to say "nachos" with an accent I can't place. (Kind of a cross between California 'valley' talk and that dude from Napoleon Dynamite?!? )

I can't believe I actually had to purchase zucchini today. Normally, there's so much of it around this time of year that neighbors leave it on their front lawns with signs saying, "FREE!" Or "PLEASE TAKE!" The (until recently) super-cool summer in this area has obviously affected a lot of summer crops: including zucchini and tomatoes.
It was money well-spent, however.
[burrrrp!]
Now to go for a brisk walk and then have some fresh melon for dessert.

Maybe I should buy some dirt and start my own windowsill garden. I'll probably only be able to grow herbs, though. And my cooking schedule is so irregular, the last time I bought sweet potatoes they rotted before I could use them.

I made Nachos last week. I bought a bunch of stuff at the store to make nachos tonight ... but I filled up on fish sticks.
I put refried beens, chips, tomatoes, onion and cheese. (and a bit of store bought salsa)
the tomatoes were great, store bought salsa not so much ... this time I got olives as well.
I used a mozarella chedder mix that melted great. I just threw it all in the oven but then i had to use a fork to eat it at the end.
i left some chips out of the mix so i could have some dipping chips but ... i ate them while it was baking ... so no dipping chips just gooey pan nachos!

Whenever Blaze and I go to our favorite watering hole, we get the special: 3 pitchers of cocktails and the nachos (sour cream, cheese, jalapenos, ground beef, salsa).
The nachos go great with the soco shake slammer (coffee, chocolate syrup, milk and vodka!)

I recommend the hazelnut beer.

Nachos with just cheese and jalapenos are my favorite.

I love it with cheese and jalapenos! and a dollop of yogurt, which gives creamy goodness without the guilt.
And salsa and beef, of course.

I just had Mexican food for dinner, with Blaze. The nachos were great. As were the tacos, chili con Carne and burritos! I like guilt occasionally too

Even though I have no chips in the house, only taco shells. I've decided to muddle through anyway.

Man, I could seriously go for some nachos right now!

I would love some nachos today. I had some chips with guacamole and dip, but it is not the same as a big pile of nachos. There is a restaurant/arcade called Level 257 near me that serves a huge pile of nachos.

Some of my classmates and I had a potluck a while back. One guy brought some delicious guacamole, and another girl brought excellent salsa. Too bad there was no cheese sauce or ground beef...
I don't have a kitchen where I stay. But when I do, nachos are one of the first things I will make.

I need more fried food today like I need a hole in the head. I dunno'. Maybe I could find some baked chips, or make some.

Mmm, baked nachos... I find baked chips to be quite good. And certainly far healthier than the fried ones.

Yeah, I've mentioned it in this thread before (I think), but even though baking your own is a pain (especially in this crappy kitchen), they're super-delicious. So nice and fresh! (Okay, my dinner plans are made! Thank Heaven I've already done the dishes this morning. )

Yay! enjoy the baked nachos, cleome
I love baking as well. especially pasta or nachos, where i don't have to worry too much about the exactness of measurements (unlike with cake or cookies)

I used whole wheat tortillas, since I'm trying to get more whole grains into my meals. Not bad. Maybe a bit more "cracker"-y than corn. But I think they'll do. Five minutes to go! Everyone wash up for dinner!!

I just had nachos with my friends while out tonight.
They were a bit too salty. But the jalapenos salvaged them.

It's been ages since I've had a good plate of nachos. A pub here in Paris offers some, but they're not very delicious...

I had some spicy nachos the other day. Heaven. Still, am looking forward ot making my own with plain chips, yogurt, melted cheese dip, homemade salsa and spicy ground beef and jalapenos.
