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. -- "There are idiots among us, and they all believe in a god" ~Toidi Uoy |

That confused me too but it was steamed so Jill would like it. |

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? N. |

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

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 added refritos once but my wife yelled at > me so ... 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. |

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. -sw |

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. ;-)) N. |

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. Janet US |
