The following is the original nachos recipe as explained by the inventor of the dish Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya. Simplicity and some attentiveness are the key components, especially in the last round of baking, when the nachos need to be closely watched so they don't burn. The ingredients needed are just corn tortillas, longhorn cheese, jalapeño, and canola oil.
3 corn tortillas
1 cup (3 oz) (90g) shredded longhorn cheese
1 tbsp canola oil
12 pickled jalapeño slices
Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F/180°C.
Apply oil to both sides on each tortilla using a brush. Cut them into quarters and bake for 7 to 10 minutes, until they become darker brown, but not burnt.
Grate the cheese and sprinkle it on top of each tortilla quarter evenly, then top with one slice of pickled jalapeño per triangle.
Place the nachos in a baking dish and bake for 3 more minutes, so the cheese becomes bubbly. Alternatively, you can bake the nachos under a broiler for one minute. Keep a close watch on the nachos, so they don’t burn.
