Ingredients
- 1 package (411 g) tortilla chips
- 2 pounds (907 g) shredded beef
- 5 pounds (680 g) large peeled and deveined cooked shrimp, tails removed and shrimp quartered
- 1 cup (240 ml) vegetable oil
- 4 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
- 120 ml chopped fresh cilantro
- 60 ml dried minced onion (such as McCormick® Coarse Grind Blend White and Green Onions)
- 5 tablespoons (23 ml) ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) ground black pepper
Instructions
- Set your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and cover a baking tray with aluminum foil.
- Arrange the tortilla chips evenly on the lined tray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded beef, quartered shrimp, vegetable oil, chopped chipotle peppers, cilantro, dried minced onion, cumin, and black pepper. Distribute this mixture over the tortilla chips.
- Place in the preheated oven and cook for 3 minutes. Switch to the broiler setting and continue broiling until the nachos achieve a light golden hue, about 3 to 4 minutes. Let the nachos rest at room temperature for approximately 2 minutes prior to serving.
Notes
- For a spicier flavor, enhance the beef and shrimp mixture with extra chopped chipotle peppers or a dash of cayenne pepper.
- Customize your nachos with toppings like diced tomatoes, sliced jalapenos, or a dollop of sour cream before serving.
- Save time by using pre-cooked shredded beef or shrimp instead of cooking them from scratch. Experiment with various tortilla chips for different textures and flavors in your nachos.
