My first attempt at nachos. What do you think?

[Anonymous No.5355238]

It's fucking nachos you'd have to try pretty hard to fuck it up.

OP here. They were Santitas. Better than Tostitos at least

[Anonymous No.5355247]

its ok op, at least you tried.

[Anonymous No.5355265]

Goofed on not frying your own chips. Takes 5 more minutes but makes all the difference. Buy a stack of corn tortillas like pic related, cut into quarters and throw them into a skillet full of corn oil.

Pull em out, pat dry with paper towels, then proceed as usual. They'll be way more robust than those you used, which probably broke every single time you tried to pick up any toppings.

More cheese, more refritos, more time in the oven, though I suspect you microwaved.

Better to try and fail than be one of those worthless wretches who don't even try at all.

Also, find a mexican and get them to teach you.

>Also, find a mexican and get them to teach you.

This means absolutely nothing. Being Mexican doesn't inexplicably make you better at making Mexican food, it's just a myth perpetuated by SJWs and Mexicans that want to take credit for something their ancestors have done. They also get hyper-defensive when any other race tries to emulate it despite them having nothing to do with its creation.

Is there a fallacy for this? I feel No True Scotsman isn't relevant enough.

I for one cannot fucking stand sour cream on Mexican food. Neutralizes everything.

nothing if you don't have an abuela living in mexico

[Anonymous No.5356403]

>>5356294

I'm glad you have an abuela living in mehico, but the issue was that you claimed that only tourists eat "inauthentic" things in Mexico, which proves to me that you've barely spent any time there, if at all.

[Anonymous No.5356412]

>>5356403
This. Mexicans are basically Americans. It's a modern country, they eat pretty much everything that suits their tastes. "Authenticity" hipsters don't have any idea what they're talking about.

Off topic question (unrelated to Mexicans and their cooking abilities concerning nachos), but I was wondering where I could get the nacho liquid cheese sauce from?
Live in Aus and none of the chain supermarkets seem to stock it.

[Anonymous No.5357255]

>>5357074
You can buy the "to go" nachos from Woolworths and Coles that has the liquid cheese stuff. Its like $4 for a small container... It's not the greatest though.

Cheers, never paid any attention to the pre-made stuff so I hadn't seen that.
I was thinking there must be a specific cheese they use to melt down to make the American style liquid sauce, and it's definitely not Kraft plastic slices

cut and fry some corn tortillas
make some pico (salsa)
chop some more jalaps & then some green onions for the very top topping
grate cheeses
creme sure and fresh guacamole on the side
maybe pull a leftover chicken breast and toss it into the mix (under the cheese and on top of the pico for sure)

sorry no pic as no groceries at the moment. craving nachos now

sodium citrate into any cheese will allow you to have a stable cheese sauce without having to make a roux or anything special.

Toast the chips by themselves first, then add meat sauce and top with cheese, grill again until niiiiice and brown. Serve with salsa, guac and sour cream in pottles on the side so the dish stays hot and crispy

Only the wealthiest parts of the country even vaguely resemble a american lifestyle. Go and tell that to a native living in a mountain. And they make up for 17% of the population, mind you. Heck, just look at all the poverty in Mexico city, which is basically America with a bit of Mexico on top.
