Questions You May Have About Making the Perfect Nachos!
What is the secret to great nachos?
Ensure that there is no blank space at all on those nachos! Each nacho needs to be coated with at least some if not all the toppings, so there’s no bare bite!
Do You Put Meat or Cheese First on Nachos?
I always compare the art of layering nachos to layering a lasagna. You need to ensure that each layer has nacho goodness, whatever your mixture is. You want to add meat (or whatever protein you’re using) first, followed by cheese, followed by more nachos, and then repeat as desired! The cheese acts as a glue to make sure that the toppings don’t slide off as you’re enjoying your nachos. Sauces are left for the end as garnish to act as the finishing touch to nachos!
How do You prevent Nachos from Getting Soggy?
Sogginess is a result of excess liquid, which can come from the juices of fresh produce, such as from tomatoes or the veggies from Pico de Gallo. Additionally, excess liquid can come from the grease released from the fats of the cheese you’re using. If you’re going to top your nachos with fresh produce, then I recommend only adding these when you’re ready to serve to prevent sogginess.
Do I bake Or Broil Nachos?
I tend to do a combination of both baking and broiling for best results! I suggest that you bake the nachos until the cheese starts to melt and then turn on the broiler until the cheese and chips are done to your liking.
