“Big Back Nachos” is a dish that typically features a large serving of nachos with various toppings. Here’s a basic recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
- Tortilla chips
- Shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
- Cooked ground beef or chicken (optional)
- Black beans or refried beans
- Sliced jalapeños
- Diced tomatoes
- Chopped green onions
- Sliced black olives
- Sour cream
- Guacamole
- Salsa
- Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the base: Spread a layer of tortilla chips evenly on a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter.
- Add the toppings: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the chips. Add cooked ground beef or chicken if using, along with black beans or refried beans.
- Bake the nachos: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Add fresh toppings: Once the nachos are out of the oven, add the remaining toppings: sliced jalapeños, diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, and sliced black olives.
- Serve with sides: Serve the nachos with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on the side. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can season the ground beef or chicken with taco seasoning before cooking.
- Customize the nachos with your favorite toppings, such as pickled jalapeños, corn, or different types of cheese.
- If you like your nachos extra cheesy, add another layer of cheese after the fresh toppings.
