 Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about 

Nachos Supreme



Is there anything more satisfying than a loaded tray of nachos, still hot from the oven? They are the PERFECT weekend treat and they couldn't be any easier to make! This recipe is foolproof and sure to be delicious, but feel free to mix and match with your favourite ingredients. More questions? Check out answers below to the Internet's most frequently asked nacho questions. 


What are some toppings for nachos?

We've got a pretty impressive amount of toppings in this recipe! If you're looking for more options, try some of these: guacamole, pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, grilled sweetcorn, pinto beans, black olives, fresh jalapeño slices, pickled red onions, cubed steak, shredded chicken, or crumbled tofu.

Are nachos fried or baked?

Nachos are baked, but the corn chips used in them are usually fried. 

Do you put salsa on nachos before cooking?

We wouldn't recommend it! Any ingredients you want to retain freshness and crunch should be added after the nachos go into the oven. We're talking herbs, greens, tomatoes, fresh salsas, avocado, and guacamole—none of these things are good warm.

What kind of cheese is used with nachos?

We're big fans of cheddar, but your options are limitless. Just make sure it melts!
