Nachos are Mexican style Chips or Crackers are usually served with a Dip on side and make excellent appetizers for parties and get together. They also fit perfectly for Holiday snacking, movie time or your fun late night snack when you crave for something instant and tempting as a batch of nachos can be made well in advance and stored in air tight container for few days.
These are 3 ways you can try making Nachos at home i.e.
1.Deep frying method
2.Gas top cooking method
3.Baking
….and here we are providing you with all of these three methods so that you can choose what goes best for you. However the taste and texture varies from what method of cooking you opt. For instance -
Deep fried nachos are golden and crisp. But they do not make a healthy snack.
Nachos cooked over gas top with or without oil are crisp, but not like deep fried ones. They taste more or less like Tortilla chips or Gujarati Khakhra.
Baked nachos are crisp and make a healthy appetizer.
Unlike any other chips, these nachos are thicker and have a characteristic texture due to the use of combination flours, like here we have used whole wheat flour and maize flour that are both healthy and staple at home. Besides we have also seasoned these with a home made ‘Spice Mix’ that adds to the flavors making them more devouring for everyone, though you can also do this with a simple sprinkle of black pepper, paprika or oregano too!
