Nachos are a very famous
street food of Mexico after the name of the women who invented it and now those
“nachos especiales” have become our
all-time favorite snacks across the world. There are a lot of things that can
be used as the toppings of nachos. These include guacamole, Sour cream, and
jalapenos along with some other toppings of your choice. However, these classic
toppings are considered to be the best toppings for the classical nachos. The
classical recipe includes beef and bean mixture which makes it easier to eat
nachos as this topping sticks to the tortillas and makes it very easy for us to
eat them. A mixture of cheddar cheese and Colby jack cheese is the best
combination to be used in the recipe of classical best nachos. This cheese must
be crushed at home and melted over these tortillas along with beef and bean
mixture.
This is one of the many tricks that can help you to
attain the perfect taste and shape of original classical Mexican nachos because
pre-shredded cheese can also be used in this recipe but that pre-shredded
chesses that is available at super markets, contains ample amount of
anti-caking powder which does not allow it to melt properly and it destroys the
whole vibe of your classic recipe. Along with beef, you are supposed to add
diced onions, sliced jalapenos, diced tomatoes, fresh cilantro, sour cream and
freshly shredded cheese to have that perfect classical taste of Mexican nachos.

Procedure:
First
of all, you need to pre heat your oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and then start
with the recipe.
First
we need to make taco spice blend and for that we need to combine all the spices
together in a bowl and toss them up.
Then,
we have to make topping of our nachos and for that we are supposed to have meat
and beans.
Heat
the oil on medium flame and add meat into that oil, once it is heated. Toss it
a bit and add some seasoning mix that we have already prepared. Use your spoon
to crumble beef so that it cooks properly.
Beef
will need 8 minutes to cook so after 8 minutes you need to put fried beans and
water to the pot and heat the mixture until meat is fully cooked and the beans
are soft.
Now,
reduce the heat and keep it on low heat while preparing chips on the other
hand.
For
the chips, take an oven safe dish and arrange your tortillas in a single layer.
Toast them in the oven for 5 minutes until the smell of toasted tortillas fills
your kitchen.
Assembling:
Noe
remove the pan from the oven and start assembling your nachos. Add half of the
shredded cheese on top of your chips and start adding beef and bean mixture
along with salsa, jalapenos and everything of your choice. Sprinkle the
remaining chesses on top and return this pan to the oven for another 5 minutes
until the chesses is fully melted.
Take
them out, add cilantro, some chopped jalapenos, and sour cream on top and serve
these scrumptious nachos that will fulfil your cravings for sure.
