GRAN LUCHITO MEXICAN
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
