Time 2h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 31

One 12-ounce bag yellow corn tortilla chips
Sunny's 5-Star Nacho Meat, recipe follows
Anne Burrell's Pickled Onions, recipe follows
Jeff's Nacho Cheese Sauce, recipe follows
Geoffrey's Grilled Shishito Peppers, recipe follows
One 8-ounce container Mexican crema
1 avocado, cubed
Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
8 ounces Mexican chorizo, casing removed
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces (80/20) ground beef chuck
1/4 cup chopped white onions
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 to 3 really good shots hot sauce, such as Tabasco
1 red onion, sliced into very thin rings
Three 14.5-ounce cans evaporated milk
12 ounces sharp Cheddar, grated
12 ounces Monterey Jack, grated
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo, sauce only
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups shishito peppers
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher or flaky sea salt
Togarashi spice, for seasoning
Toasted sesame oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Arrange the tortilla chips on a platter. Top with Nacho Meat, Pickled Onions, Cheese Sauce and Shishito Peppers. Drizzle with the Mexican crema and then garnish with the cubed avocado and cilantro leaves.
  • Place the chorizo in a mini chop and blitz to break down.
  • Add the olive oil, chorizo, chuck, onions, cumin, thyme and salt to a large pan over medium heat. All at once!
  • Cook, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to the nachos.
  • Combine the vinegar with 1/2 cup cold tap water in a medium bowl. Stir in the salt, sugar and hot sauce. Add the sliced onion and let sit for at least 1 hour. Pickled onions can be refrigerated for up to 1 month.
  • Pour the evaporated milk in a medium saucepot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Toss together the grated cheeses and cornstarch in a bowl until evenly coated. Add the cheese mixture and adobo to the simmering evaporated milk and whisk constantly for about 3 minutes, being careful not to scald or scorch the bottom of the pot. Cook, whisking occasionally, until homogeneous and thickened, about 10 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Reserve 1 1/2 cups cheese sauce in a heatproof measuring cup for nachos. (Leftover cheese sauce keeps, refrigerated in an airtight container, up to 1 week. Reheat gently with a splash of milk in a small pot over low heat.)
  • Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Toss the peppers with a drizzle of olive oil in a small bowl. Add the peppers to the hot grill pan and grill, flipping occasionally, until the skin is blistered on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and chop, discarding stems. Season generously with salt and togarashi. Toss with sesame oil to taste.

5 STAR VEGAS NACHOS



5 Star Vegas Nachos image

We went to Vegas on our vacation and I had these nachos. Ok--I swooned, was in dreamland. I did come to long enough to ask if I could speak to the chef. He didn't give me exact amounts, but more or less let me know. We were served this with chives and black olives. (They are to die for.) The one thing he said to me was about mixing the cheese with the beans. To me this was foreign, but he knew what he was doing.
