From Emeril. Sinfully delicious. The chorizo/cheese sauce with the cool avocado/tomatoes topping is perfection. Great game time dish.

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup diced chorizo sausage
1 cup chopped white onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained

Add the onions and cook, stirring, until very soft, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic, salt, and cayenne and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the flour and stir for 2 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes and chopped chiles, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Slowly add the cream and stir until thick, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the cheeses and cook, stirring, until melted and well incorporated. Remove from the heat and adjust the seasoning, to taste.
  • Spread the corn chips in a thick layer across a large heat-proof tray or decorative platter.
  • Ladle the chili con queso over the chips in an even layer. If desired, top with jalapeno slices. Evenly arrange the chopped avocados, green onions, and cilantro over the cheese layer and top with dollops of sour cream. Serve immediately.

The nachos were a bit soggy. I think I used too much sauce.

These nachos were a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.

I'm not a huge fan of cheese, so I omitted it from this recipe. The nachos were still delicious!

I added some cooked chicken to these nachos and they were even better! The chicken added a nice protein boost.

I've tried several no-bake nacho recipes and this one is by far the best. The sauce is rich and flavorful, and the nachos stay crispy even after they've been sitting for a while.

I was a bit hesitant to try these nachos because I'm not a huge fan of spicy food. But I'm so glad I did! The sauce was flavorful without being overwhelming, and the nachos were crispy and delicious.

I've made these nachos several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The sauce is perfect - not too spicy, but still has a nice kick.
