Food, Drink & Dining Out Nachos

[crownie]

been making these on the weekend a fair bit lately but have been struggling to find the perfect sauce for my nachos, i usually just go with a Dominos pasta sauce but i am looking for a nice alternative for when i want to change it up.

GD - we tackle the big topics.

Why use pasta sauce and not salsa/nacho sauce?

found it has tasted better.

used the typical salsa which was ok but could be better, tonight used oldelpaso nacho topping and it was

 

[Mattman93]

Make your own then.

I've never had a problem with the usual Salsa one. Just all depends on what flavour you want to get out of your sauce I guess.

I just use the CC's dip, does the job

 

[Hawk88]

Salsa sauce in a blender, blend it till it goes into a paste (no chunks of onion etc)

Eat

Enjoy.

i find the selection of cheese a bigger issue. Regular tasty cheese just doesnt say soft long enough and you end up with everything glued together.

Microwave or Oven? I've sworn by the easiness (and laziness) of Microwaved nachos for so long, but on one hectic and filthy drunk new years afternoon, a lady friend of mine opted for the Oven method. Much to my dismay (massive munchies)

they were absolutely perfect. I stopped celebrating new years that night and started celebrating oven nachos instead

I use the Old El Paso stuff, mixed in with some salsa and red kidney beans. Spread over Mexicana Doritos, sprinkle with cheese, chuck in the oven, serve with sour cream and guacamole...soooo good.

Oven > Microwave

nachos mince sauce microwave cheese << Best ever

 

[Poseidon]

CC's chips >> Doritos (for nachos)

I use the Doritos salsa though.

Never heard of anybody using pasta sauce for nachos.

I've found this too. However, if you make the nachos in a large bowl/on a plate and pop it in the oven/under the grill to cook, the plate generally stays hot enough thus keeping the cheese melted longer. Just remember your oven mitts/tea-towel.

Also, I've never been a big fan of salsa on my nachos. But lately I have been adding Nando's Peri-Peri sauce to the avocado/guacamole which tastes surprisingly good.

Mince as in mince meat?

But lately I have been adding Nando's Peri-Peri sauce to the avocado/guacamole which tastes surprisingly good.

I use it as Parma sauce and also if i wanna marinade a steak with a few extras, works a treat.

My favourite method is to use Nacho cheese-flavoured Doritos, grab some cheese (any will do) and any can of mexican bean mix.

Add nachos to bowl. Then empty half a can of the bean mix. Then cover with grated cheese. It always hits the spot, especially if you cbf making anything else.

I use Mission corn chips spread evenly over a baking tray. Cheese, salsa, capsicum, smoked chicken, bacon. Top with sour cream and guacamole.

Good god that sounds good, are you talking the plain mission strips or the triangular cheese ones?

Depends how cheesy you want your nachos. Both options are delicious. The trick is to make sure you get appropriate amounts of toppings on every nacho. It takes me ages to make them.
Can also do the same toppings but on potato skins and add some spring onion (fatty AF don't blame me if you get clogged arteries)

The ones at Little Creatures in Freo are some of the best I've had. Something else

 

[Quivorir]

Thought they were pretty "meh" at little creatures. Their pizzas on the other hand were amazing.
