The Best Nacho Recipe and World Cup
Today I’m sharing The Best Nacho Recipe, according to our kids and their friends. :)
Because we are a soccer family, we invited our family’s friends over to watch the USA play Belgium last week. Sadly, the USA lost, but we were so impressed with their play!
Nacho kick.
Lately I’ve been on a nacho kick. I didn’t realize how easy they are, that we almost always have the ingredients on hand, and that they are a hit with all ages and genders. Which is perfect for watching a World Cup soccer game, combined with refreshing drinks and good ol’ USA spirit.
What makes a nacho nice and crisp is to bake it in the oven. Serve it nice and hot, with a lot of ingredients, piling the “fresher ingredients” after baking, and serve on your favorite platter. (I used my Le Creuset platter that you can place right in the oven.)
Nacho mojo.
While the game started, I was feeling rushed, but quickly got my nacho mojo going. I quickly browned the turkey, pulled out all the ingredients, drained the beans, chopped the tomatoes, cilantro, and opened up a can of Trader Joe’s Corn Salsa.
Here are 3 ingredients that make the best nacho – in my humble opinion. If you’re from Portland, Oregon, you’ll be totally familiar with The Taco House dressing; and most people have a nearby Trader Joe’s for the Corn Salsa, and everyone has access to Bush’s Beans. Of course you can substitute any of these ingredients, but the secret to “the best nacho” is to bake it and to serve it HOT
