Pachos Nachos
- 3 cups Refried Black Beans (if You Can't Get Them You Can Skip Them)
- 1 pound, 1-23 ounces, weight Tortillas (corn, NOT Flour)
- 3 cups Vegetable Oil
- 3 cups Grated Chihuahua Cheese (you Can Also Use Monterey Jack Or Cheddar)
- 3 whole Tomatoes
- 1 whole Large Onion
- 3 whole Jalapenos, Or Less To Taste
- 2 Tablespoons Chopped Cilantro
- 2 whole Lemons
- Salt To Taste
- First slice the tortillas into triangles.
- Heat the oil in a deep pot and fry the tortillas until crisp.
- Do so in batches so you dont cool the oil too much.
- Set aside.
- Dice the tomatos, the onion, the jalapenos and the cilantro.
- Place them all in a bowl, add the juice from the lemon and salt to taste.
- You can use as little or as many jalapenos as you like.
- We like it with a lot.
- Also I dont seed themI just toss the whole thing in there, but feel free to seed them if you like.
- Toss all the veggies until nice and uniform.
- There, you have made Pico de Gallo!
- Be proud of yourself.
- Now for the assembly of the nachos: in a plate or platter, arrange just enough fried tortillas to cover the plate, being careful not to crowd them.
- Smear some of the refried black beans onto the tortillas, then cover with a heaping dose of cheese, and nuke in the microwave until the cheese is all melted.
- Take them out and spread on top enough Pico de Gallo to cover it all.
- Delicious!
- You have to repeat the process with every batch of nachos, but it is worth it, and your guests will love you a little more.
- Enjoy!
