Beef Chorizo Nacho Topping Recipes

CHORIZO NACHOS

Steps:

• In a large heavy saute pan, cook the chorizo over medium-high heat until crisp, about 6 minutes. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel to drain off excess fat.
• In a saucepan, add the wine and lemon juice. Bring slowly to a boil and reduce the heat to medium low. Add the cheese and cornstarch and whisk until the cheese is fully melted.
• Arrange the tortilla chips on a serving platter. Drizzle with the melted cheese mixture. Top with chorizo-onion mixture. Garnish with the cilantro and chives. Serve immediately.

5-STAR NACHOS

Steps:

• Arrange the tortilla chips on a platter. Top with Nacho Meat, Pickled Onions, Cheese Sauce and Shishito Peppers. Drizzle with the Mexican crema and then garnish with the cubed avocado and cilantro leaves.
• Place the chorizo in a mini chop and blitz to break down.
• Add the olive oil, chorizo, chuck, onions, cumin, thyme and salt to a large pan over medium heat. All at once!
• Cook, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to the nachos.
• Combine the vinegar with 1/2 cup cold tap water in a medium bowl. Stir in the salt, sugar and hot sauce. Add the sliced onion and let sit for at least 1 hour. Pickled onions can be refrigerated for up to 1 month.
• Pour the evaporated milk in a medium saucepot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Toss together the grated cheeses and cornstarch in a bowl until evenly coated. Add the cheese mixture and adobo to the simmering evaporated milk and whisk constantly for about 3 minutes, being careful not to scald or scorch the bottom of the pot. Cook, whisking occasionally, until homogeneous and thickened, about 10 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Reserve 1 1/2 cups cheese sauce in a heatproof measuring cup for nachos. (Leftover cheese sauce keeps, refrigerated in an airtight container, up to 1 week. Reheat gently with a splash of milk in a small pot over low heat.)
• Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Toss the peppers with a drizzle of olive oil in a small bowl. Add the peppers to the hot grill pan and grill, flipping occasionally, until the skin is blistered on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and chop, discarding stems. Season generously with salt and togarashi. Toss with sesame oil to taste.
