Ingredients

  • One Bag of Tortilla Chips
  • One Jar of Salsa
  • Cheese

Method

  1. Most people have no idea about Nachos. They pile on the tortilla chips, add the salsa and then just grate some cheese over the top. This is Wrong.
  2. For the Perfect Nachos, one must employ the Layering Method.
  3. First start with adding a third of the bag of chips to a plate.
  4. Next add some salsa
  5. Then grate some cheese over the top.
  6. Repeat steps 3-5 until you have run out of chips
  7. Microwave until cheese is melted to Nacho standards.

Optionally you can add Jalapeños for that extra kick.

I hope you enjoyed Cooking with Jamie, tune in next time when I will be telling you how to make Curried Rice!

Jamie Is Awesome. Enough said really. If there was a prize for the most awesome person in the universe...ok it probably wouldn't go to him, Neal Patrick Harris and Hugh Laurie would beat him hands down but Jamie would come in a close 67th. After a tabloid scandal involving a heavy night of drinking, a church and a teacup he was confined to the darkness of the computer lab where he spent many a day and night perfecting his coding ability. His amazing ability to code like no man before or after him led to the invention of not only this website but several other pointless sites.

    I recently tried Old El Paso’s Nacho kit, using the two-layer method, heating with the oven.

    Ovens will tend to melt the top cheese leaving the middle cheese soft; leave them in ’til the middle cheese is melted and you’ll have a toasted topping a la The Mackintosh. Whilst this tougher cheese sounds interesting, it binds many of your nachos into an embarrassing slab!

    OEP’s nachos were curiously circular, but had a very good taste.

    Easy on the salsa so you don’t soften your chips - dollop it on the side.
