Ingredients
- 2 tsp. vegetable oil
- 1/2 lb. fresh chorizo sausage, casings removed and chorizo crumbled
- 1 1/2 bags (each 14 oz.) tortilla chips
- 3/4 lb. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 3/4 lb. Monterey jack cheese, shredded
- 1 can (16 oz.) refried beans
- 1/2 cup pickled jalapeño slices
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 2 Tbs. minced fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup crumbled
- cheese
- Guacamole for serving (see related recipe at left)
- Salsa for serving
- Sour cream for serving
Instructions
- In a fry pan over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring often, until browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer the chorizo to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Preheat the center burners of a gas grill on low and the outer burners on medium-high for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, assemble the nachos: Place a single layer of tortilla chips on the bottom of a grill tray. Sprinkle one-fourth of the cheddar cheese and then one-fourth of the Monterey jack cheese on top. Place several spoonfuls of refried beans on the cheese. Sprinkle one-fourth of the chorizo and then one-fourth of the jalapeño slices on top. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to create 3 more layers, making each layer slightly narrower than the previous one so the nachos resemble a pyramid-shaped mound.
- Place the tray over the center burners on the grill, close the lid and cook for about 7 minutes. Turn off the center burners, keeping the outer burners on medium-high, and continue cooking, covered, until the top layers of cheese are bubbly and the bottom layers are evenly melted, about 3 minutes more.
- Remove the tray from the grill and top the nachos with the tomatoes, cilantro and <i>queso a&#241;ejo</i> cheese. Serve immediately with guacamole, salsa and sour cream on the side. Serves 10 to 12.
