You need a fairly sturdy chip for good nachos. Something that can withstand the glorious mass of meat and cheese and pico de gallo and jalapenos. Fuck I'm hungry now
Well, since we are talking about nachos.... I recommend tonkotsu ramen!
bad nachos suck.
Fresh properly made nachos are FIRE.
It requires the right kind of chips (size and strength) the right kind of cheese (needs to have the right stringy consistency to hold together but not too strong that it fights the chip being pulled away) and it needs to have the right amount of toppings spread thinly and evenly across the plate.
Too many places use anemic chips or way too much refried beans/other toppings. They layer them too deep as opposed to wide. They either don't melt the cheese enough or they melt it too much and then serve it once it's already started to hardened.
Truthfully nachos are a difficult dish to do correctly, but when you get good nachos they are absolutely heavenly.
Sounds like you're nachoing wrong.
See what you do is you take two chips and use them like tongs to sandwich toppings between.
Though I can kinda agree with how nachoes are usually done being kinda lame. You put the toppings on a pile of chips and so you can't really grab anything without getting sloppy, and then you also end up with bare chips underneath. I prefer to have the toppings as a dip instead of just dumping it on the chips, but then I guess that isn't really "nachos." 🙄
Good nachos are awesome.
1 in like 50 plates of nachos are good.
Needs good layering of cheese and toppings, good cold toppings added after bake sturdy chip, good dips. Immense failure rate.
