GUY-TALIAN NACHOS
Steps:
- Salsa:
- Combine all the ingredients in a nonreactive bowl. Set aside and allow the flavors to marry.
- Filling:
- In a medium-sized saute pan over medium-high heat, add half of the olive oil. Cook both the ground beef and turkey sausage until cooked through, then remove them from the pan to a plate. Add the remaining olive oil to the pan and saute the onion until it turns opaque, about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 2 minutes longer while preventing it from burning. Return the meat mixture to the pan. Combine the ingredients well and set the filling aside.
- Toppings:
- Combine the ricotta cheese and sour cream in a small food processor or blender. Mix well and pour it into a resealable bag.
- Prepare the remaining toppings and hold until you are ready to assemble the nachos.
- Chips: In a heavy skillet, over medium heat, heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Carefully lower the wonton wrappers into the oil, in batches, since they cook extremely fast. As soon as they puff up, make sure you flip them over. Once they start to brown, remove them to a plate lined with a paper towel. Sprinkle them with salt as soon as they are out of the oil.
- Nachos:
- Preheat the oven to a low broil and position a rack approximately 9 inches below the burner.
- In a large oven-safe dish, arrange a layer of chips, a layer of meat mixture, (reheat if necessary), and sprinkle everything with some mozzarella. Repeat this action with the second half of the ingredients, and again finish with the cheese. Put the dish under the broiler until the cheese has melted, (keep a close eye on this). Remove the nachos from the oven and top with the salami, fresh herbs and salsa. Take the bag holding the ricotta/sour cream mixture, and create an instant pastry tip by cutting a hole in the corner of the bag. Drizzle the sauce over your nachos, sprinkle with the green onions and pepperoncini, if using, and serve immediately.

Tips:
- To make the perfect nachos, start with a sturdy tortilla chip that can hold up to all the toppings. Avoid using thin or flimsy chips, as they will likely break apart under the weight of the toppings.
- Layer your nachos with a variety of toppings to create a flavorful and visually appealing dish. Some classic nacho toppings include cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and jalapeños. However, feel free to get creative and experiment with different toppings, such as grilled chicken, black beans, corn, or even pineapple.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese. While cheddar cheese is a classic nacho topping, you can also try using other types of cheese, such as mozzarella, Pepper Jack, or queso fresco. Each type of cheese will give your nachos a different flavor and texture.
- Be sure to heat your nachos through before serving. This will help to melt the cheese and make the nachos nice and gooey. You can heat your nachos in the oven, microwave, or on the stovetop.
- Serve your nachos immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular nacho dipping sauces include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo.
