1. Tomato Broiling
Broil the Roma tomatoes for a charred effect, around 8 to 10 minutes. If using canned tomatoes, opt for fire-roasted ones.
2. Bacon and Chorizo Cooking
In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy, roughly 3 to 4 minutes, then add the chorizo and cook for a few minutes more.
3. Beef Browning
Add the beef sirloin to the skillet and brown for about 4 minutes, until seared.
4. Vegetable Sautéing
Stir in the white onion and jalapeños or serrano chiles, cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for less than a minute.
5. Tomato Incorporation
Stir in the broiled tomatoes and cook for a couple of minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
6. Oven Preheating and Nacho Assembly
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. On a baking sheet, layer the tortilla chips, meat and tomato mixture, and shredded cheese, then bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
7. Garnishing and Serving
Top the hot nachos with chopped avocado, crumbled queso fresco, and sliced scallions before serving.
Opt for high-quality, thick and sturdy tortilla chips that are lightly salted to avoid sogginess and flavor imbalance.
Create a blend of sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, and a bit of queso fresco or cotija, freshly grated for meltability and flavor depth.
Drain toppings of excess liquid and broil briefly at the end to crisp up and prevent sogginess.
Strategically layer chips, cheese, proteins, and other toppings for a complete flavor profile in every bite.
Use lime juice or pickled jalapeños to balance flavors and add a refreshing acidity to cut through richness.
