Prepare the protein: Remove casings from the chorizo and place it in a cold, dry skillet. Turn on the heat and cook, breaking up the meat with a potato masher or wooden spoon until it's crumbled and cooked through. Drain the excess grease on paper towels and set aside.
Prepare the cheese: Using a box grater, shred the Queso de Papa (or cheddar), Pepper Jack, and Queso Oaxaca. Toss them together in a large bowl to create an even blend. Avoid using pre-shredded cheese.
Prepare the fresh toppings: Finely dice the red onion and thinly slice the radishes. Pick the cilantro leaves for garnish. Set aside.
Prepare the condiments (optional but recommended): Make homemade guacamole and pico de gallo. To make a quick crema, thin sour cream with fresh lime juice until it reaches a drizzleable consistency. Warm up the refried beans if using.
Preheat your oven (a high temperature like 400°F/200°C is typical for nachos). Line a large sheet tray with parchment paper to maximize surface area and prevent sticking.
Use sturdy, thick tortilla chips that can hold up to the weight of the toppings without becoming soggy or breaking.
Always grate your own cheese from a block. Pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking starches that prevent it from melting smoothly and can make your nachos oily.
Build your nachos on a large sheet pan in a flat, wide layer rather than a deep pile. This ensures maximum surface area so every chip gets toppings and heat.
Layering is key. A base layer of chips and cheese followed by a top layer ensures no chip is left naked.
Add wet or fresh condiments like guacamole, pico de gallo, and crema after the nachos come out of the oven to keep them from getting soggy and to maintain their fresh flavor and texture.
