What would you put on nachos GBS?

See - I am going through a nacho phase - much like Van Gogh - only less paint, more cheese.

I have tried diced jalapenos, ground beef (seasoned, I am not a barbarian), sour cream, various secondary cheeses like chipotle colby and jalapeno chedder... I need something to "wow" me...

If you, GBS, could pick ANY topping for your nachos besides the standard cheese addition - what would it be? WOW ME DAMNIT.

Sit freshly chopped jalapeņos into an opened can of tuna in oil overnight. Put it all on the nachos and bake in the oven for a bit, with whatever else you want.

You should try Taco Time. It's about as authentic as Taco Bell, but is way, way better.

There's some bar next to an old grain mill about 15 minutes from my house. It's wholly unremarkable except for the fact that they have $1.25 taco night and some of the best loving homemade nachos I've ever had.

But personally, optimal nacho for me has pulled carnitas pork, black beans, salsa, and nacho cheese.

wtf like whole black beans? Cold salsa just poured on top of the hot toppings? Nacho cheese like the orange melted stuff they sell at sports events?

i pull the plain ones out from the bottom like jenga and dip them in the topping pile, if theres enough stuff on top this technique provides enough topping for each chip

I grew up in a household where using garlic or any type of onion or leek was not allowed because they were 'gross'.

Also my dad beat me. Not sure which is worse.

yeah but then you get 5 bites of good nachos then you're eating soggy ones that have been sitting in cheese and misc grease... it's like a loving nacho catch 22 you cant win with them they're a poorly designed food :shrug:

We have two authentic Mexican places here, neither do it which is a shame. I just like a to grab a burito on the way home and more options for that from restaurants I like would be cool. Don't go to Chipotle very often, it's not that great and the line is almost always insane.

I think I'm gonna get some taco bell on the way home in an hour or so.
Mostly because I haven't eaten in about 28 hours, but also because I'm a monster and hate myself.

Also, I really like stupid large (yet not the authentic comically large) burritos.

Black olives. Most people despise them, dismissing them as lego tires, etc. I like the way they taste and think they add to the over all nacho experience.

I've had some abysmal olives every now and then, but nachos with good black kalamata olives are great. See: my picture earlier in this thread. I even order more on the side.

My friend got 'asian-mexican fusion nachos' from a food truck once that he kept raving about.

I gave him poo poo for forever after that because it turned out to literally be a mini-plate of loving Doritos with loose spicy tuna on top. I tried a bite of his and it was loving gross. I should divorce him as a friend probably.

If a place calls something fusion, it's because it sucks and needs buzz words to make hipsters get it.

If it's not horrible, they just say what it is, like tikka paneer pizza, or Asian tuna nachos, though I expect it is impossible for the latter to be good.

Why is anything "asian-mexican fusion" so tone-deaf to how any ingredients are actually used in either cuisine

Like raw fish on nachos just doesn't make sense from a Mexican or a Japanese standpoint (both cusines use them! Raw fish isn't just a Japanese thing!). Okonomiyaki toppings would make a lot more sense
