not so nacho, nacho salad...
 
I have previously posted the recipes for the individual items I am
about to list....


I made a salad with lettuce carrots (cut into match sticks and steamed
in the micro) chopped some tomatoes, added some of the frozen chili I
previously listed, used the thousand island dressing previously
listed, and crumbled up some tortilla chips.

It was good. Damn good. but I must say the best part was the chili, it
really added a lot of flavor to the salad.

What is a lettuce carrot and how does it relate to a cabbage tomato?

I have done that also with the chili I made but I wanted to go with
more of a salad instead of a taco or just fully dressed nachos. I was
surprised that it turned out so well...

Mine is similar unless I make a tortilla cup on the bottom. If I use chips,
they go on the top. I sometimes add whole beans or use those instead of the
meat. Only use refritos if I use the cup. Then I use a dab to stick it to
the plate. I never put rice in mine.

On Cape Cod, they add lettuce on top of their nachos. That to me is weird.

Julie, I think it is common to put shredded lettuce on top tacos, so to me, putting
some on nachos isn't that different. It might be pretty good, having that cold, crispy
crunch on top of hot, cheesy, hot pepper covered tortilla chips. Or do you put
different stuff on your nachos?

Warm chili and cold thousand island on a garden salad isn't my
thing. And I would use the pre-crumbled chips already at the bottom
of the bag rather than crumbling new ones.

Lettuce is very common on nachos. Why do you have to travel 3,108
miles to Cape Cod to find that strange? I found three restaurants in
Bothell, WA that serve them that way in a mere 5 seconds just from
Texas.

I put hot refried beans on the bottom of the plate surrounded by whole
corn chips. I top with shredded lettuce, chopped onion, chopped
tomato, diced black olives, shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream
and a splash of salsa. That way you can work from the bottom and use
your fork and load a whole chip with the goodies for eating mostly
like a taco. We call it taco salad.

The problem is... It's not cold and crispy by the time you get it. It's warm
and wilted.

What restaurants? I rarely eat in Bothell but I've never had nachos in WA
with lettuce on them.

As if I didn't expect that response, with one exception: I expected
"I don't LIVE in Bothell".

You can search menus in Bothell, or wherever you don't eat, really
easily. 5 seconds, like I said.

I do the same with leftover taco meat. The refried beans give
everything else something to stick to on the chips. But I don't put
warm saucy stuff on top of cold veggies along with TI dressing.

we'll do the same with leftover taco meat. And, yes, the meat/beans
are the glue to allow other stuff to stick to the chip or fork. No
warm saucy stuff on top

Janet US, I think that taco salad...what was called "Tex-Mex Dip," when it first appeared in
a magazine in the 70s, is now referred to as a "Fiesta Platter," in some venues. I love it...but
I never put the tortilla chips on the bottom (around the edge), but rather just served the chips
alongside. Mine was layered with refried beans on the bottom, followed by guacamole, sour cream
mixed with some taco flavoring, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, diced olives (I used green
ones because I don't like ripe ones), sliced scallions, and salsa. I usually put a dollop of the
sour cream on top. Now I think I have to make some when I can taste again...maybe a half batch,
knowing I will eat it until it's gone. ;-))

well of course if you eat the nachos 30 minutes after you make them...

nachos then meat then veggie then cheese then lettuce then sour cream
Then you eat...

No I do not put tomatoes in my chili. I think it ruins the flavor. The
chili recipe has been posted before

It is not like it is an entire bowl of chili. It is like half a cup
maybe a cup. You mix it well.

Shredded iceberg is typical atop tacos. however I've eaten nachos on
both coasts and several spots beween... it never contained any
lettuce. Most places pile all the ingredients on a plate filled to
overflowing with corn chips and put it in the nuker to melt the
cheese... even the guac is heated.
https://search.aol.com/aol/image;_yl...t=loki-keyword
There was a popular Salvordaranian restaurant on Lung Guyland called
Chicago's (had nothing to do with the windy city). they served
excellent meals and they served a giant plate of "Nachos Chicago", the
chips were a mix of three colors. We ate there often, in fact it was
where we had our first date, we shared Nachos Chicago and a liter
carafe of house red.

I remember when that was popular. I have that recipe around
somewhere. My taco salad doesn't have that layer of beans, followed
by a layer of sour cream mix followed by guac. Mine really is a salad
on top of a mound of beans. The dish you are talking about I always
thought of as a dip.

And that's what happens when you order stuff in a restaurant. It sits. Often
under a warming light. No meat on my nachos. No sour cream either. And my
veggies go on there raw. Usually green onion, tomato and black olives. Beans
do go under the cheese.

I did. Only came up with Applebee's. Not a place I will go to. Have also
said countless times, I'm in unincorporated Snohomish County. My address is
Bothell. Not much of interest for me there though.

I did. It was awful. Lettuce should be crisp. Not hot and wilted.

aww no no no, you never nuke the cheese on nachos. because it will
cool quickly and then stiffen up. Nachos should always be served with
a cheese sauce (recipe previously posted)

well it sounds like you had a bad experience because you chose to eat
at a restaurant, you should have sent the food back. Make your own
food.

I'm a nacho purist, just like Ignacio Anaya made them:

Chips
Jalapeno rings
Cheese

Under the broiler

Hey dipshit! When you order a nacho, aka taco, salad it's made when you ORDER
it. It's not made then it sits under a warming light. How stupid can you be?
Wait, don't answer that, we already know the answer.

Nachos and tacos are not the same things. Food can sit in restaurants. The
Mexican place we normally eat at has a small staff. The owner is usually the
one who makes the food and he does bring it out right away. That being
said... Nachos are not something I ever order in a Mexican place. I will
order them at other places if there is nothing else appealing on the menu.
Restaurants like that often do not bring your food out right away. They
usually have a ledge between the kitchen and the dining area. There is often
a warming light there. I once got warm cottage cheese at such a place.

I do these days. When we lived there, my then husband loved going to taverns
to eat. Hence the nachos. I do make nachos at home once in a while. They're
not a favorite food.

Oh hell no! I will say that I much prefer nachos made in the oven. I don't
make them that way. I do nuke them. I do not use a cheese sauce at home.

When Target had a snack bar, I would sometimes get the nachos and they did
come with a cheese sauce. Daughter and I would eat a quick 2-3 bites each
and my now ex would finish them. Same for the popcorn.

Alas, the Targets in this area did away with those snack bars and put in
Starbucks. Some do have a Pizza Hut Express. Not my thing,
