    I make them simple and easy.

    Layer of corn chips then spoon some chunky salsa on and sprinkle grated cheese put on oven or microwave.

    Then some sour cream for serving (if I remember to buy some)

    Dont think You could really do lot fat version unless you use low fat cheese.
    That's how I make them too. I also put some spring onion and avocado on top.

    LOL, we haven't had them for aaaaages, like years, but DH asked earlier to have them tonight!!!!

    DH can be a bit fussy, so our nachos are pretty plain. And I'm pretty fussy about them not going soggy etc. So I do two layers of corn chips (PLAIN) and grated cheese on a plate, bake in the oven til cheese has melted, and serve with a bowl of salsa for dipping, and a bowl of sour cream. I like to have guacamole too, so do that sometimes. I would LOVE to have beans on them, but DH hates beans. We love to sit and share all the stuff between us, I'm looking forward to it tonight now!

    omg, I can't believe you were served that at a Mexican restaurant! A pub bistro maybe...

    Oh Jitterbug, those recipes are winners!

    I always do a Chilli Con Carne with my nachos. Once the meat is cooked I place it on layer of corn chips (usually Dorito's) and sprinkle with cheese, then put in the over til the cheese melts. Then serve with mashed avocado (with some lemon juice) and sour cream...guess we'll be having nachos again this week...yum!

    LOL Lulu, now I think about it, the worst nachos I've ever had were from a Mexican restaurant - supposedly one of the better Mexican restaurants in Melbourne and supposedly their speciality. They were soggy to the point of being inedible.

    we use a mince sauce similar to spag bog but with chilli and beans

    we bake plain doritos with cheese(on 2 trays)
    we then layer
    baked chips, meat sauce, sour cream, more baked chips, meat sauce, guacomole and sour cream... sometimes DH puts some jalepenos on for him self
