I heard that the original nachos came from Piedras Negras, Mexico around the year 1940, where the dish was served as a mixture of tortilla chips, cheese, and pickled Jalapenos.This recipe will get you close to that original flavor, in the comfort of your own home. I also included some freshly-squeezed lime juice on top.
Ingredients
12oz1 bag corn tortilla chips
4cupsColby cheese(shredded)
1.5cupspickled Jalapenos
Juice of ½ lime
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400˚F.
Arrange layers of the tortilla chips, shredded cheese, and pickled Jalapenos on an oven-safe platter.
Bake at 400˚F for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
Serve hot, with a squeeze of fresh lime juice on top.
Notes
These are best eaten fresh—they are less tasty when served cold.
