FRIED CHEESY PICKLES
Steps:
- Pour 2 inches oil into a large pot and heat to 360 degrees F. Line a plate with a paper towel.
- Stir together the ranch dressing and sriracha to taste in a bowl. Set aside.
- Drain the pickles and use a paper towel to pat off any excess moisture (I like to save the brine and use it again!). Wrap each pickle in a slice of cheese, then fold and roll the cheese-wrapped pickle in an egg roll wrapper. Fold up the left side, then the right and roll up tightly like a burrito, using a bit of water on your finger to seal the sides.
- Working in batches to not overcrowd the pot, fry the pickles until golden brown and crispy on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the lined plate to drain and cool slightly. Slice in half crosswise and serve with the Sriracha ranch.

THE ORIGINAL NACHOS
The first nachos were said to have been invented in Piedras Negras, Mexico, in 1940, with just three ingredients. As the story goes, a group of women walked into the Victory Club in Piedras outside business hours. Aiming to please, Ignacio Anaya, the maître d'hôtel known as Nacho, ran to the kitchen and made a quick appetizer with ingredients he found. Today's nachos know no end to their variations: They can have a number of seasoned layers, like these bricklayer-style nachos, or these vegetarian bean nachos, or simply be topped with cheese sauce, like those sold at concession stands. But the simplicity of its original, with its barely salted chips, nutty melted cheese and briny pickled jalapeños, is sure to charm true fans.

Steps:
- Set racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and heat to 400 degrees.
- Spread the tortilla chips in a single layer on two large sheet pans. Place a scant tablespoon of shredded cheese over each chip, pressing slightly to adhere. Top each chip with 1 or 2 slices pickled jalapeño. Sprinkle or spoon the pickled jalapeño brine all over the chips. Bake until cheese melts completely and begins to lightly brown at the edges, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Serve nachos immediately, directly on the hot baking sheets, or use a spatula to transfer them to a platter.

Tips:
- Use a variety of pickles: Different pickles will add different flavors and textures to your nachos. Try using a combination of dill pickles, sweet pickles, and bread and butter pickles.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this dish, so don't skimp on quality. Use a sharp cheddar cheese or a Mexican cheese blend.
- Don't overcrowd the nachos: When you're layering the nachos, don't overcrowd the pan. This will help the nachos to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Broil the nachos until they're golden brown: Broiling the nachos will help to melt the cheese and crisp up the chips. Keep an eye on the nachos so that they don't burn.
- Serve the nachos immediately: Nachos are best served immediately after they're made. This will help to prevent the chips from becoming soggy.
