Loaded Nachos are cheesy, spicy, crunchy, and a favorite among adults and kids. The good news is that making this yummy appetizer at home is pretty basic. You can make the toppings like salsa, guacamole, and refried beans from scratch or buy them out to save time. Serve veg nachos for house parties, game nights, the Super Bowl, movie nights, or BBQs. They are also a huge hit at Cinco de Mayo parties. You can choose baked nachos instead of fried ones for a healthier appetizer. Cheese – I like to use two types of cheese to make my loaded nachos recipe: Gouda cheese and Cheddar cheese. The sweet and nutty taste of Gouda cheese tastes well with the sharp and pungent flavor of Cheddar cheese. These days, a special nacho blend is available in many supermarkets. You can use it too. You can also use processed cheese like Amul or Brittania cheese in this recipe. Avoid pre-packaged shredded cheeses as they are coated with an anti-clumping agent, inhibiting their ability to melt well. Tomato Salsa and Guacamole are the star toppings in this recipe. I like to make mine at home as the taste of homemade Tomato Salsa and Guacamole is incomparable and super easy to make. Homemade salsa (pico de gallo) and guacamole are more economical than store-bought jars. However, you can buy them out if you have a time crunch. You can also experiment with different types of salsa instead of Tomato salsa. Salsa Verde also tastes excellent over this ultimate appetizer. Others – You will also need corn kernels, refried beans, sour cream, Jalapeno peppers, and fresh cilantro (fresh coriander leaves). You can check out my recipe for Sour Cream here. Refried beans can be replaced with pinto beans. You can sprinkle Old El Paso Copycat Taco Seasoning or drizzle hot sauce on top for a spicy kick. Spread 7 oz (200 g) tortilla chips on a 9×13-inch baking tray. Top with the following ingredients.
¾ cup of refried beans ¼ cup corn kernels 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese 1 cup of shredded gouda cheese.
7 oz (200 g) tortilla chips ¾ cup of refried beans ¼ cup of corn kernels 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese 1 cup of shredded gouda cheese.
Put the tray in the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 6-8 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
¼ cup sliced jalapeño ½ cup tomato salsa ½ cup sour cream ½ cup guacamole 2 tablespoon chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately. Adjust the Jalapeno as per your taste. You can also top the nachos with pitted and sliced black olives, green onions, chopped red onions, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, etc. You can make a nonvegetarian version by topping them with spicy lean ground beef, leftover taco meat, or shredded grilled chicken. You can choose your favorite toppings and skip adding the ones you are not fond of.
