Ultimate Nachos
Recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2006

Ingredients
80 corn tortilla chips, approximately 8 ounces
3 to 4 jalapenos, thinly sliced*
4 1/2 ounces diced red onion, approximately 1 cup
6 ounces finely grated Cheddar, approximately 2 1/4 cups
6 ounces finely grated Oaxaca cheese, approximately 2 1/4 cups
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
2 cups fresh salsa
2 cups sour cream
2 cups guacamole

Instructions

*Cook's Note: Depending on your heat preference, you
may remove the seeds from the jalapenos or leave them intact.

Set 1 of the oven racks on the lowest shelf and preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Make 8 (2-inch) balls out of aluminum
foil. Spray 3 wire cooling racks with non-stick cooking spray and place 1 of the
aluminum balls in each of the corners of 2 of the racks.

Lay 1/3 of the chips on one of the racks. Top each chip with a jalapeno slice and
sprinkle the chips with 1/3 of the red onions, and 1/3 of both the Cheddar and
Oaxaca cheeses. Repeat with the remaining chips and the other 2 racks. Stack the
racks on top of one another and set into the parchment lined baking pan. Bake in
the oven on the bottom rack for 7 minutes or until the cheese begins to bubble.

Sprinkle with fresh oregano. Serve immediately with the salsa, sour cream, and
guacamole.
