Let’s talk about something very important: nachos.
I’m always experimenting to create the perfect nacho. My current favorite combo is:
- On the Border brand chips. They are the perfect heftiness to support toppings but still thin enough to not outshine the other flavors. Let’s be real; the chip is just a crunchy vehicle to deliver the toppings into your face.
- Shredded pork or chicken.
- Pepper jack cheese. It melts so nice.
- Refried black beans.
- Pico de gallo.
- Guacamole.
- Queso fresco.
- Fresh jalapeno.
- All the cilantro. (I realize that cilantro is controversial. If you don’t like cilantro, just send it my way.)
So, Persephoneers, how would you build your ideal plate of nachos?

Breakfast nachos.
Tortilla chips with: scrambled eggs, shredded chicken, tomatoes, black beans, avocado, goat cheese, and about four pounds of shredded cheddar.
I make these about every other weekend. I dream about them.
Scrambled eggs? I’m going to have to try that! That sounds like a super tasty combination.
ground beef or chicken (but I don’t want to be the one who has to cut up the chicken because raw chicken is gross)
green onions
black olives
jalepeños, but doesn’t need to be a ton
ALL THE GUACAMOLE
sour cream
black beans
fresh tomatoes
Any sort of cheese is fine. The saucy queso stuff, pepperjack, whatever.
Also, I like On The Border chips too. Not too salty, and rather sturdy. Santitas chips are pretty good too, and they’re cheap.
For a long time I just emptied the chips in my mouth because why add anything to chips.
But sour cream and beans in tomato sauce, please.
