Can someone give me some input on this recipe?

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Mexican Taco Recipe


I want to make chips n’ cheese for dinner tonight (a common Mexican taco shop snack).

Is there any way I can get the cheese to melt on the chips without frying the chips? Can I spray liquid margarine or butter on the chips or should I fry them anyway?

Also, should I fry my own tortilla chips from scratch or fry store-bought chips?

Spread out the chips onto a cookie sheet
Sprinkle the cheese (shredded) on top

Put tray in pre-heated oven at 300 degrees just until the cheese melts

Options:
Add a few teaspoons of sour cream for an extra rich, delicious flavor
Sprinkle some jalepeno’s (sliced in a jar) for extra firey taste

In my opinion, there are great chips in the market these days and you can choose between white or yellow corn chips. Both are excellent.

    I love homemade tortilla chips! Get flour tortillas and cut into wedges, fry in canola oil and then salt. Yum!

    But, if you don’t want to do all of that, then get store bought, sprinkle with cheese and put under your oven’s broiler for about 3 mins. If that isn’t melted enough, nuke for 45 seconds.

    You don’t need to fry the chips at all.

    I suggest buying chips, making them is a long process and takes a good amount of work.

    Put the cheese on the chips and melt the cheese in the oven, that is all you need to do to make nachos.

    Usually in the taco shops they use corn tortilla chips but you can melt the chips the same way or you can make them more like nachos & get cheese & warm it up in a pan & serve over the chips

    to what Emily above says, I add:
    a few minutes under hot grill in the oven, buy rather soft yellow cheese that melts easily.

    I suggest if you don’t want fried tortilla chips, buy the baked version. There are a couple of different brands readily available.

    Just spread the chips on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil for easy clean up, then top with cheese and place under the broiler until the cheese melts.

    It will be a much healthier version although somewhat less tasty!
