Nachos

I am huge fan of Big Nachos from Cream Center (Alwarpet). I got a readymade pack of Nachos chips and prepared the cheese sauce and tomato salsa. I used Go Cheese processed cubes for making the sauce. My version is less complicated and I did with the available ingredients at my home. You can definitely add your choice of ingredients to enhance the taste.

Ingredients for Sauce :

• Grated Cheese – 1 cup
• Milk – 4 tbsp
• Pepper Powder – 1/4 tbsp.

Ingredients for Salsa :

• Tomato – 4
• Onion – 1
• Green Capsicum – 1
• Sugar – 1/4 tbsp
• Salt – 1/2 tbsp
• Chilli Flakes/Chilli Powder – 1/2 tbsp
• Lime Juice – 2 tbsp
• Dried Oregano Leaves – 1 tbsp
• Olive oil/Vegetable Oil – 1/2 tbsp.

Method of Preparation :

Sauce :

1. I just baked Nachos chips in oven for about 3 minutes to get that extra crispiness
2. Heat a frying pan and add grated cheese. Once the cheese starts to melt add milk and keep on stirring gently.
3. Ensure no lumps are formed.
4. With in 4-5 minutes you will get a creamy cheese sauce of pouring consistency.
5. Remove from heat and season it with pepper powder. Keep it aside.

Salsa :

1. Blanch tomatoes in water for about 5 minutes
2. Chop onions, capsicum and blanched tomatoes finely.
3. Heat oil in a pan and first add onions.
4. Sauté it for a minute and then add capsicums, tomatoes.
5. Add chill flakes or chilli powder, salt and sugar.Let the whole mixture boil for about 5-7 minutes.
6. Do not add water. Sprinkle oregano leaves and give it a mix.
7. Once the salsa is cooled down add lime juice.
8. You can serve salsa as a hot accompaniment or refrigerate it and can serve them too.

Assembling Nachos :

Spread Nachos on a plate.

Pour cheese evenly so that chips get coated with sauce.

Top it off with Salsa and enjoy your Nachos :-D.
