First you need to choose your tortilla chips! Try our Lightly Salted Tortilla Chips or choose our Chipotle Flavoured Tortilla Chips , which are made from large quarter cuts of tortillas making them perfect for holding lots of toppings. 

Next is the fun part – choosing your nacho toppings. Don’t be afraid to add as many as you like that’s what nachos are all about! We like to add a layer of Refried Beans, lots of grated cheese and then a meat or veg topping. To finish, dollops of authentic salsa are an essential, and we love using our Gran Luchito Chipotle Salsa for a smoky kick. Then top with Gran Luchito Fire Roasted Serranos to add a burst of spicy Mexican heat

FAQs

We get a lot of questions about making epic nachos at home! Here are some of the most frequently asked ones. If you have any others, please be sure to leave your question in the comments section. If you want to learn even more be sure to check out the Gran Luchito Youtube Channel.

What are nachos?

Nachos are a dish of tortilla chips covered with toppings and cheese which is then melted. The dish originally hails from northern Mexico and can trace its origins back to the 1940s. A restaurateur named Ignacio Anaya invented the dish; they were called nachos – a short-form of the creator’s name.

How do you make nachos?

Line a baking tray and scatter your tortilla chips. If you want to take it up a notch, add dollops of Gran Luchito's Chipotle Refried Beans. Next sprinkle over your shredded cheese. Place the baking tray in the oven at around 220°C for 5 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted. Then add your toppings - we love using one of our authentic salsas, sour cream, guacamole and Serrano Green Chillies for a burst of flavour.

What toppings go on nachos?

Shredded cheese is a must! We love smothering the chips with our Chipotle Refried Beans and spoonfuls of chipotle seasoned beef. Once out of the oven, add salsa, sour cream, guacamole and our signature Jalapeño & Pineapple or Serrano Green Chillies for extra spice.

What cheese is best for nachos?

Thankfully the best cheese for nachos is also the most widely available - shredded cheddar cheese. If you can get your hands on the USA’s cheese of choice - Monterrey Jack - we would recommend using it due to its superior melting properties. It’s also worth considering the toppings you are using when selecting a cheese. We try to pair the best melting cheese for the hero toppings in our recipes which is why you’ll find Red Leicester with chipotle chicken!

How to make nachos not soggy?

1. Cook your nachos with the cheese, beans and meat first before adding the toppings
2. Cook at a high temperature (220°C/425°F/gas mark 7) under a preheated grill
3. Tuck in straight away!
