Make Mexican Nachos for the Big Game

Most of the recipes I post in this space are real recipes. What I mean by that is in order for you to end up with the end result, which Im presenting to you, you actually have to follow the instructions. But thesethese are more like an inspiration. And, it mightve been an excuse of us to have a conversation about nachos. I mean, they might be my favorite game day food ever (right behind this Spinach Dip from last year) because what is more glorious than melty cheese, topped with beans and delicious things like spicy radishes, fresh cilantro and avocado? Nothing!

I just learned who is playing on Sunday and Im not really rooting for anyone, but I am, however, rooting for a table full of fun game day foods, which of course, includes nachos piled very, very high.

The only thing I think is an absolute must for making nachos is a low oven temperature; if the temperature is too high the cheese will be crispy instead of melty. Also, theres one more thing: the cheese needs to be layered within the chips, or else when you get to the bottom layer of chips and therell be no cheese and that is totally unacceptable.

Below youll see a recipe, in case you want to end up with the exact nachos you see pictured, but really should improvise, adding your absolute favorite toppings and enjoy, whether youre a football fan or not.
