I had been craving nachos (my favorite food group!) for several weeks. Going out with my partner to get some has been challenging because of our hectic schedules lately so I decided on my free evening after work last Friday, I would get busy making my dreams come true.

Everything in these nachos (aside from the obvious products such as the dairy products) were all made from scratch! I took inspiration from a few recipes for components and assembly (BA's Fully Loaded Nachos, Serious Eats Ultimate Nachos), but this is ultimately just something I dreamed up and executed!

My first ever Ultimate Nachos with:

  • roasted tomato salsa with chipotle peppers (i was getting tired and instead of making 4 salsas, I combined everything for my last two salsa into one, so it is sort of a tomatillo/tomato mix)
  • fresh Avocado-Tomatillo salsa
  • pico de gallo
  • black bean spread (https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/fully-loaded-black-bean-nachos-red-green-salsas)
  • pickled onions and jalapenos
  • guacamole
  • Topped with Montery and Jack cheese, queso fresco, radish, fresh jalapenos, cilantro, sour cream, and grilled chicken

It was absolutely delicious and devoured in its entirety by 4 people. Mission accomplished. Dream achieved.
