"Nachos are one of the most versatile and under-appreciated foods out there. While the base is consistent across most recipes - calling for tortilla chips, though you could swap in tater tots for totchos or crispy kettle-cooked potato chips - the toppings can vary. Nacho recipes include the likes of meat, beans, veggies-only, guac, salsa, and more. While you can go wild with the toppings, you do have to keep some fundamental principles in mind when it comes to construction"
"One of the most important tips for making nachos is to be conscious of the moisture. If you layer your nachos too thickly or with too many wet toppings, the chips may go soggy, making it difficult to eat. As such, it's better to layer your chips and toppings across multiple sheet pans, rather than trying to stack them precariously on one pan. Not only will this encourage your chips to crisp up,"
Nachos pair a tortilla-chip base with limitless topping options from meats and beans to vegan choices. Moisture control is essential to keep chips crisp and prevent sogginess from wet toppings or overly thick layering. Spreading chips and toppings across multiple sheet pans improves crispness and enables serving several variations for a crowd. Choosing a high-quality crunchy chip and adding a layer of cheese directly on chips creates a seal that protects against wet toppings. Serving salsas and other wet toppings on the side allows guests to customize and avoids soggy bites.
