Instructions
Make the Tortilla Chips
- Combine maize flour, all-purpose flour, oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Divide the dough into equal portions and roll into balls.
- Dust the balls with flour and roll out into thin circles (about 6 inches in diameter).
- Cut each circle into 6-8 triangles.
- Heat oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the tortilla chips in batches until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Prepare the Cheese Sauce
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, creating a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the shredded cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and white pepper.
Make the Salsa
- In a bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, cucumber, onion, jalapeño, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Assemble the Nachos
- Arrange the tortilla chips on a serving platter. Top with the cheese sauce and salsa. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Nachos
- For extra crispy chips, let them cool completely on a wire rack after frying.
- Experiment with different cheeses in the sauce – Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or a blend work well.
- Add your favorite toppings to the nachos, such as black olives, guacamole, sour cream, or shredded lettuce.
- Prepare the chips and salsa ahead of time to save time when guests arrive.
