The Original Nachos image

This is the original recipe for Mexican Nachos, invented by Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya. I found the recipe in a few places, but liked the NY Times recipe the best.

Categories     Cheese Appetizers

Time 18m

Number Of Ingredients 3

3/4 lb store-bought or homemade tortilla chips
1 lb shredded colby cheese (about 4 packed cups)
1 c thinly sliced store-bought or homemade pickled jalapeños, plus 2 to 4 tablespoons brine

Steps:

  • 1. Set racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven . Set heat to 400 degrees.
  • 2. Spread the tortilla chips in a single layer on two large sheet pans. Place a scant tablespoon of shredded cheese over each chip, pressing slightly to adhere. Top each chip with 1 or 2 slices pickled jalapeño. Sprinkle or spoon the pickled jalapeño brine all over the chips. Bake until cheese melts completely and begins to lightly brown at the edges, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • 3. Serve nachos immediately, directly on the hot baking sheets, or use a spatula to transfer them to a platter.
