Ingredients

Nachos

  • 1 small bag (about 8 ounces) corn tortilla chips
  • 2 to 3 cups queso blanco
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, cored and finely diced
  • 1 large avocado, thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced
  • Half of a small red onion, very finely diced
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Layer the nachos: Arrange the corn tortilla chips in an even layer on a large sheet pan. Drizzle evenly with 1 ½ cups of the queso blanco cheese. Evenly sprinkle the diced Roma tomatoes, thinly sliced avocado, jalapeño slices, finely diced red onion, and chopped fresh cilantro over the chips. Then drizzle the remaining ½ cup (or more, if preferred) of queso blanco over the top for an extra cheesy finish.
  2. Serve: Serve the nachos immediately to enjoy the perfect combination of crispy chips and creamy, fresh toppings. This ensures the chips stay crunchy and the cheese is deliciously melty.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add more jalapeño slices or a dash of hot sauce.
  • If you prefer melted cheese, briefly bake the assembled nachos in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5 minutes.
  • Customize toppings with sour cream, black beans, or sliced olives for variety.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor as chips can get soggy over time.
