Sure, making nachos can be as simple as throwing some cheese on a bunch of tortilla chips and letting it melt. But, making great nachos is a whole lot more complicated.
There are important cheese to chip ratios and numerous other key ingredients to consider if you want a plate of nachos you can truly be proud to serve your friends. And, Chili’s seems to have perfected the science of nachos.
If you’d rather just crib from one of the experts, instead of putting in countless hours perfecting your own recipe, you can always opt to mimic the chicken fajita nachos. The recipe for Chili’s Chicken Fajita Nachos can be found here, and once you’ve snagged that up, all you’ll have left to do is find a big screen TV and a couple of friends.
