Time 1h

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 12

cooking spray
1 (18 ounce) package tortilla chips
1 ½ pounds cooked, Mexican-seasoned ground beef
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
3 medium jalapeno peppers, thinly sliced
3 cups pico de gallo
1 (16 ounce) package shredded medium Cheddar cheese
3 cups queso blanco dip, warmed
¼ head iceberg lettuce, shredded
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon water, or as needed
2 stalks scallions, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Arrange a layer of tortilla chips on the tray. Sprinkle 1/2 of the cooked beef in a layer over the chips (don't drown the chips!) then layer with 1/3 of the beans, 1/3 of the jalapeno peppers, 1/3 of the pico de gallo, and 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese; drizzle 1/3 of the queso blanco over top. Repeat layers once more, starting with chips and ending with queso blanco. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 5 more minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and transfer nachos to a platter. Top with shredded lettuce and remaining beans, jalapeno peppers, and pico de gallo.
  • Stir sour cream with just enough water to thin slightly; drizzle over the nachos. Drizzle remaining queso blanco over top and sprinkle with scallions. Arrange remaining chips around the edges of the platter.

GAME DAY NACHOS



Game Day Nachos image

Here is a heavily-loaded platter of shredded pork inflected with the flavors of cumin, coriander and lime, layered with tortilla chips and sliced radishes, flecks of scallion and leaves of cilantro, drifts of shredded cheddar and lime-scented sour cream, to be accompanied by hot sauce, napkins and beer. It is football-watching food, but doubles nicely as dinner for teens, young adults, anyone interested in the inhaling of the delicious. The pork is an all-day affair, requiring five to seven hours of roasting in a low oven so that the meat achieves a collapsing sweetness beneath a burnished crust. But the rest of the recipe is easy work indeed: bowls of the condiments may be combined on a platter with the shredded meat and diced skin in any manner you deem appetizing.

Time 5h

Yield 10 to 12 servings or more

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 bone-in pork shoulder, butt or picnic ham, 7 to 10 pounds
Juice of 1 orange
Juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
Finely grated zest of 1 lime
Juice of 1 lime
1 cup sour cream
4 to 5 cups (about 12 ounces) unsalted tortilla chips
4 radishes, thinly sliced
1 cup (about 6 ounces) shredded Cheddar
1 cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves
1 cup sliced scallions
Hot sauce to taste

Steps:

  • Place the pork in a large shallow bowl and pour the orange and lime juice over it, then turn the pork to coat. In a small bowl, mix the salt, cumin, coriander, brown sugar, black pepper and garlic. Discard excess juice from the bowl containing the pork, then rub the pork all over with the spice mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to cook, or overnight.
  • Heat oven to 300. Remove pork from refrigerator, discard any juices and place in the bottom of a roasting pan. Cook for 5 to 7 hours, or until pork yields easily to the tines of a fork. Allow meat to rest for up to an hour.
  • When ready to serve, put pork on a cutting board, reserving the pan juices and fat. Using two forks, shred the meat off the bone, chopping it up if desired. Place in a large bowl and moisten with some of the reserved pan juices. Dice as much of the skin as you desire and add it to the meat, mixing to combine. Cover and keep in a warm oven until ready to use.
  • To assemble the nachos, mix the lime zest and remaining juice into the sour cream in a small bowl, then refrigerate until needed. On a large platter, spread half the tortilla chips and cover with a layer of about half the meat. Sprinkle with half the sliced radishes and a third of the grated cheese. Repeat with another layer of chips, meat, radishes and cheese, then top with the sour cream, scallions, cilantro leaves and any remaining cheese. Serve with hot sauce.

LOADED NACHOS



Loaded Nachos image

Nachos are among the most ubiquitous of America's pastime foods. At ballgames, carnivals or bowling alleys you can expect a pile of limp tortilla chips, drowned in warm yellow cheese product. But nachos should, and can, be better than this. Try them showered in good shredded cheese and accompanied by a fragrant meat sauce, the fire of jalapeños, the chill and silkiness of sour cream, the tart excellence of a good tomato, with shredded lettuce and thin-sliced radishes. Here is avocado; there, the awesome funk of chopped cilantro. Want some bacon on there as well, or a slash of hot sauce? Go to! Some will add beans. Others black olives, chopped raw onion. Please do. But take care to layer well. Layering is the key to loaded nacho perfection.

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

1/4 pound slab or thick-cut bacon, diced
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and diced
1 1/2 pounds ground beef, like chuck or sirloin
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons smoked paprika, hot or mild
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 to 2/3 cup chicken stock, homemade or low-sodium, or water
1 12- to-16-ounce bag corn tortilla chips
1/2 head iceberg or romaine lettuce, shredded
1/2 cup pickled jalapeños
2 avocados, pitted and sliced
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup crumbled Cotija cheese
3 radishes, cleaned and thinly sliced
2 cups cherry tomatoes, sliced into quarters
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro leaves
2 limes, cut into eighths, for garnish
Hot sauce, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Put a large sauté pan with high sides over medium-high heat and add the bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the pieces are crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes, then remove the bacon and set aside.
  • Add the onions to the bacon fat and sauté, stirring occasionally, until they have softened and started to go brown around the edges, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the ground beef and garlic and cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the chile powder, cumin, salt, paprika, black pepper, sugar, cornstarch and red pepper flakes and stir to combine and toast the spices. Add enough chicken stock or water to loosen the mixture, and allow it to simmer, uncovered, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 to 6 minutes. (Add a little more stock or water if mixture is too thick.)
  • Assemble the nachos on a half sheet pan: Put a layer of tortilla chips on the pan and cover with about 1/3 of the meat sauce, then add about 1/3 of the lettuce, 1/3 of the jalapeños, some avocado slices and a handful of the Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses. Top with more tortilla chips, more meat sauce, more lettuce, jalapeños, avocado and cheese, then make a final layer of chips, meat, bacon, jalapeños, avocado and cheese. Top with crumbled Cotija cheese and slide the sheet pan into the oven to bake until the cheeses have melted through, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Top cooked nachos with the sliced radishes and tomatoes, and dot the tray with teaspoons of sour cream. Scatter the cilantro over the top and serve, accompanied by limes and hot sauce.
