Synopsis: The nacho has universal appeal. Its a finger food, it crunches, its Tex-Mex, its tasty. Its quick and easy, yet its still satisfying. Anyone can make a good nacho. Its casual enough to eat on the couch in front of the game, but it can be gussied up for any occasion: like hamburgers, pizza, and other wildly popular casual foods, nacho variations are vast, and techniques are important. Thats whereMacho Nachoscomes in handy, beginning with the fundamentalswhat cooking vessel to use, what temperature, which cheeses and chips work best (and which really dont), how to make cleanup easier, and how to avoid bad results (soggy on the one hand, burnt on the other). Then on to recipes: Speedy Nachos (the easiest recipes) such as Traditional Tex-Mex Nachos Nachos; Smoked Chicken, Roasted Peppers, and Asiago Cheese Nachos; and Nachos de Carnitas. Then there are Uptown Nachos, for those social situations when it might actually be necessary to tuck the shirt into the pants and perhaps entertain the fairer sex: Jamaican Rum Chicken Nachos; Popcorn Shrimp Baja Nachos; and Crabmeat and Spinach Nachos. There are even Breakfast and Dessert Nachos. And of courseMacho Nachosis a rich source of homemade condimentsthe piece de resistance (if you will) of the well-appointed nachofor those chefs too advanced to settle for a jar: from classic Pico de Gallo to Ginger-Watermelon Salsa, from Avocado Crema to Chipotle Mayonnaise, heres everything youd want to drip, drizzle, or pour over your macho nachos. Dont leave the couch without it.
