LOADED NACHOS
Nachos are among the most ubiquitous of America's pastime foods. At ballgames, carnivals or bowling alleys you can expect a pile of limp tortilla chips, drowned in warm yellow cheese product. But nachos should, and can, be better than this. Try them showered in good shredded cheese and accompanied by a fragrant meat sauce, the fire of jalapeños, the chill and silkiness of sour cream, the tart excellence of a good tomato, with shredded lettuce and thin-sliced radishes. Here is avocado; there, the awesome funk of chopped cilantro. Want some bacon on there as well, or a slash of hot sauce? Go to! Some will add beans. Others black olives, chopped raw onion. Please do. But take care to layer well. Layering is the key to loaded nacho perfection.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Put a large sauté pan with high sides over medium-high heat and add the bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the pieces are crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes, then remove the bacon and set aside.
- Add the onions to the bacon fat and sauté, stirring occasionally, until they have softened and started to go brown around the edges, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the ground beef and garlic and cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the chile powder, cumin, salt, paprika, black pepper, sugar, cornstarch and red pepper flakes and stir to combine and toast the spices. Add enough chicken stock or water to loosen the mixture, and allow it to simmer, uncovered, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 to 6 minutes. (Add a little more stock or water if mixture is too thick.)
- Assemble the nachos on a half sheet pan: Put a layer of tortilla chips on the pan and cover with about 1/3 of the meat sauce, then add about 1/3 of the lettuce, 1/3 of the jalapeños, some avocado slices and a handful of the Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses. Top with more tortilla chips, more meat sauce, more lettuce, jalapeños, avocado and cheese, then make a final layer of chips, meat, bacon, jalapeños, avocado and cheese. Top with crumbled Cotija cheese and slide the sheet pan into the oven to bake until the cheeses have melted through, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Top cooked nachos with the sliced radishes and tomatoes, and dot the tray with teaspoons of sour cream. Scatter the cilantro over the top and serve, accompanied by limes and hot sauce.
Tips:
- Choose the right chips. The best chips for nachos are sturdy and can hold up to the weight of the toppings. Thick, tortilla chips are a good option.
- Use a variety of toppings. The more toppings, the better! Some popular options include cheese, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, Pico de Gallo, shredded chicken, ground beef, and black beans.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are no rules when it comes to nachos. You can use any toppings you like. Some unusual but delicious options include pineapple, mango, and even chocolate.
- Make it a meal. Nachos can be a meal on their own, or they can be served as an appetizer or side dish. If you're serving them as a meal, add some protein-rich toppings, such as chicken, beef, or beans.
- Be generous with the cheese. Cheese is the key to great nachos. Use a combination of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese for the best results.
- Broil the nachos until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will help to hold the toppings in place and make the nachos even more delicious.
Conclusion:
Nachos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick and easy meal. With so many different ways to make them, there's sure to be a nacho recipe that everyone will love.
