Cast Iron Nachos
Clay Q
Posts: 4,486
Yesterday I did a test run of nachos for a party next weekend. Needed an appetizer while the main event will be smokin(spares)and this seemed like a good idea. Fresh cilantro and chives from the garden. We served guackamolea and sou'cweam on the side.
Holy Cow! Very good test run (rate it as a home run). I'd like to have a softer cheese next time. Thinking of adding melted Velveeta to 4 Mexican cheese blend. This is a meal in it's self. There is refried bean, salsa, black olives, fresh tomato and fresh chopped onion layered in along with the cheese and ground beef. :woohoo:
Tip; I used an enameled grid pan with holes to toast up the chips before layering ingredients in the cast iron skillet. To serve, place cast iron on a trivit and let guests take what they want. The iron will keep the nachos warm.

There is a corn chip "strips" that are made for dipping but I can't find them anywhere after I bought just a couple of bags. They are thicker, taste better but wondering if they pulled them off the market?
Ended up with Tostitos Restaurant Style, they were ok. Whatever you use, toast them up lightly before building the nacho dish, mucho better that way.
Eating some leftovers right now, used fresh chips and it's very good, monkeywaved so cheese melted a bit. All I need is a baseball game on. Home run derby is on tonight. Prince Fielder he's our man. :cheer: -
The nachos look great. Within a couple of hours I should here "Clay made nachos. Cant you make those?" coming from the computer area in the kitchen. All your post lately are scoring very high with Madame Le Oeuf Vert.

OH YEAH! You knocked that one "OUTTA DA PARK"
-
Oh Wow Clay, you have done it again! Those look mucho super, thanks for the grilling tips too :cheer:

I'm still waiting for some stir fry with "squiggly things"
