Steps:
- Bring oil to 350 degrees F in a deep-fryer. Slice the potatoes thin on a mandoline. Run under cold water until the water is clean. Fry until crispy.
- Saute the bell peppers, jalapeno and half the red onions in olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until the onion is translucent. Add the chorizo, chili powder, cumin and paprika, then reduce heat to medium and cook until the chorizo cooks through. Transfer to a food processor and blend.
- Combine the vinegar, salt, sugar and remaining onions in a small saucepot and bring to a boil. Strain.
- Layer the Homemade American Cheese over the chips. Top with hot chili to melt. Top with cilantro, sour cream and pickled onions and serve.
- Line a 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-by-2 3/4-inch-deep loaf pan with plastic wrap.
- Combine the Cheddar, mozzarella, tapioca flour and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine.
- Combine the butter, beer and milk in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from the heat and slowly pour the hot liquid into the cheese, processing until fully melted and smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly (it should fill three-quarters of the loaf pan). Let stand in the refrigerator until the cheese sets, 4 to 6 hours. Invert the pan on a cutting board to remove the cheese and peel off the plastic wrap. Cut crosswise into 16 slices.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes, turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
- Slice 1/2 inch off the bottom of the pineapple to remove the skin and make the bottom flat. Stand the pineapple on a cutting board, holding it from the top, and use a knife to slice away all the skin from the sides. Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise, starting at the crown and going straight down through the core to the bottom. Position one pineapple half core-side down on the cutting board and place a wooden spoon along each long side (this will prevent you from cutting all the way through the pineapple). Make vertical cuts in the pineapple every 1/4 inch, stopping when the knife hits the spoons. Repeat with the remaining pineapple half.
- Transfer the pineapple halves to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and pour 1 cup of the teriyaki sauce over them. Let sit for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Put a small bowl upside down on a work surface and lay one pineapple half over it, core-side down. Gently press the ends of the pineapple half down towards the work surface so the slits open and fan out a bit. Divide the chorizo in half and stuff each slit with some of the chorizo. Repeat with the remaining pineapple half and chorizo.
- Put the pineapple halves core-side down on the indirect-heat side of the grill and cover the grill. Cook until the chorizo is golden brown and the pineapple halves are dark yellow and tender, 25 to 35 minutes. Brush with 1/4 cup of the teriyaki sauce and transfer to a cutting board.
- Add the cucumber, chile, lime juice, onion and remaining 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce to a medium bowl and mix to combine.
- Stand up each pineapple half on a cutting board, hold it firmly by the crown and slice down the length into pieces. Serve over rice with the cucumber salad.

Steps:
- First, make the pickled onions for the salsa. Mix the vinegar, sugar and 1 /2 tsp flaky sea salt in a bowl, whisking until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Add the onion, mix well and set aside for 20 mins, tossing around in the vinegar every few mins.
- Next, make the beans. Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the onion and cook gently for a few mins until softened. Add the chorizo and cook for 2-3 mins more, stirring until the oils have released into the pan. Add the beans and sizzle for a couple of mins until softened a little. Sprinkle in the paprika, drizzle in the honey, cook for a few more mins, then set aside.
- To make the guacamole, halve two of the avocados and remove the stones. Slide a dessertspoon between the skin and the flesh of each avocado half and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the lime zest and half the juice, the coriander, half the soured cream and a pinch of salt. Mash well until you have a smooth guacamole, then cover and chill until ready to serve. Halve the remaining avocado and remove the stone. Cut the flesh in a criss-cross pattern, then scoop out the chunks with a spoon and toss through the remaining lime juice.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In your largest roasting tin or a large ovenproof dish, layer the tortilla chips, chorizo beans, cheese and most of the chilli slices. Bake for 10-15 mins until the cheese has melted and the tortilla chips are toasting at the edges.
- While the nachos cook, finish the salsa. Drain most of the pickling liquid from the onions and add the tomatoes, radishes and toss together. Remove the nachos from the oven and scatter over the salsa. Spoon over the guacamole, then scatter over the chunks of avocado. Loosen the remaining soured cream with 2-3 tsp water until it's runny enough to drizzle over the nachos, and finish with extra chilli if you like it hot. Finally, scatter with the remaining coriander. Serve as soon as possible, with plenty of napkins!

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh pineapple and cilantro add a vibrant flavor to the nachos. Avoid using canned pineapple, as it can be too sweet and syrupy.
- Choose a good quality chorizo: A good quality chorizo will have a smoky, slightly spicy flavor. Avoid using a chorizo that is too greasy or bland.
- Cook the chorizo until it is crispy: This will help to render out the fat and give the chorizo a nice texture.
- Use a variety of toppings: In addition to the chorizo and pineapple, you can add other toppings to your nachos, such as black beans, corn, tomatoes, onions, and cheese. Get creative and use what you have on hand.
- Serve the nachos immediately: Nachos are best served hot and fresh. If you let them sit for too long, the chips will get soggy and the toppings will lose their flavor.
Conclusion:
Chorizo pineapple nachos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or game days. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a tasty treat, give chorizo pineapple nachos a try!
