Don't waste good cheese here, though, and don't use a bullying, overly tangy cheddar. It should be a layer of flavour, not the star of the show. As with pizza, you can put anything on nachos.
But that doesn't mean you should. On the fringes of sanity you will see people dressing their nachos with everything from kimchi to jerk chicken. Of the more commonplace toppings, I am saying a firm "no, gracias" to the following: refried beans great adhesive if you are tiling a kitchen floor, otherwise mystifying ; olives; mayonnaise; sweetcorn perennially unwelcome ; lettuce see, "lighter nachos" ; fried onions; a spritz of lime sounds right, sounds Mexican, but in reality a jarring idiocy when used so haphazardly ; any herbs; chorizo; pepperoni.
In fact, I find any meat in this context ground beef, BBQ chicken, bacon, even the pulled pork which people insist on putting everywhere, these days , unnecessary if not actively off-putting: often unwieldy, dried-out, too filling.
Beef chilli is the exception of course, but I would argue that, ultimately, it is better served over rice. Line a bowl of chilli with tortilla chips — much less pour the chilli over a plate of nachos - and they soon get waterlogged. Some limp chips is great, for variety. All limp chips isn't. Personally, I say forgo meat altogether. The undisputed Holy Trinity of toppings is guacamole, salsa a fresh, clean blitzed pico de gallo , preferably and sour cream.
Top with sliced jalapenos to taste. In terms of complementary textures, contrasting temperatures and a to'n'fro of deliciously fatty, zingy and hot, pickled flavours, you have everything you need, right there. Note: while nachos is the lazy cook's cop-out, it will benefit enormously from homemade fresh salsa and guacamole. The long-life jarred versions are an abomination.
There are people — frigid, sexless husks of humanity tormented by issues of taste and decorum — who insist that guacamole, salsa and sour cream should be served on the side, in little pots, so that a you can get an equal little dip of everything, as you see fit, and b you won't get messy.
What next? Eating nachos with a knife and fork? Making sure that every nacho is covered with a dab of each component is not the aim. Instead, spoon the guacamole etc, into three "pools" on top of your cheese-topped nacho mound. You can then move and dip between them as you see fit, before, finally, revelling in the intensity, the gastronomic multiple orgasm of, how, as you finish your plate, that leaves three small nacho zones drenched in cream, salsa or guacamole.
Next, set out smaller bowls filled with various nacho toppings. Your guests will serve themselves and make their own nacho plates. Pair nachos with other side dishes for a more complete meal. Not everything goes well with nachos. Whether you are trying to turn a bowl of nachos into a more complete meal, or add variety to your nacho bar, it is important to select the right dishes.

Particularly when a certain hit'n'miss variety a naked, grill-charred nacho here; a cheese glut there; a blob of Monterey Jack melted to the plate that you have to scrape off last , is all part of the fun. No cheese sauce. Got that? And, by that, I don't just mean that skinning-over, chemically processed, glow-in-the-dark gloop you get pumped over your nachos at the local cinema. You could make the most elegant bechamel cheese sauce with a fine artisan mature cheddar and the contrast of hot, silky sauce on, alternately, brittle, woody and now sopping-wet tortilla chips, would still be deeply unpleasant texturally.
Save your cheese sauce for pasta. You want some resistance, the pleasure of pulling apart gooey strings of cheese between clumps of nachos. So, instead, use a grated mix of three cheeses: Monterey Jack for meltability , red Leicester for colour and cheddar for flavour. Don't waste good cheese here, though, and don't use a bullying, overly tangy cheddar.
