Ultimate Chili Nachos with Queso and Guacamole

Langkah-langkah

1. Start, of course, by making The Best Chili Recipe I've Ever Made.This recipe is different from most because it uses beef chuck instead of ground beef. It is melt in your mouth delicious! Any homemade chili recipe will do, of course, this is just my favorite.

2. Make the guacamole. You can make this as fancy as you want, I chose to keep it simple. Mash 4 avocados in a bowl and add 3/4 teaspoon salt and lime juice to taste (about 3-4 tablespoons, or about 2 limes).

3. Make the corn salsa. Let frozen corn thaw to room temperature.

4. In a medium bowl, combine corn, 3 chopped tomatoes, 1 or 2 chopped jalapenos (to taste), chopped cilantro, chopped red onion, salt, and lime juice. Stir it together and adjust salt to taste.

5. Make the queso. Break up the White American cheese into chunks and add to a small saucepan. Add 6 tablespoons milk and 1 tablespoon butter. Turn the heat to LOW. 

6. Cook, stirring frequently, over low heat until the cheese is melted and smooth. 

7. Add the can of chopped green chilies (you don't need to drain it, just dump in the whole thing.)

8. Add 1 teaspoon each cumin, garlic, and onion powder. Add 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper, or more if you want it spicy. Keep stirring occasionally over low heat until you are ready to assemble (the cheese starts to thicken as it cools). 

9. To assemble: Add tortilla chips to 4 large shallow bowls or plates**. Top with about 1 cup of hot chili. Drizzle the chips with the white queso dip. Top with a large scoop of corn salsa. Add a huge scoop of guacamole. Add a large dollop of sour cream. Sprinkle the whole thing with shredded cheddar cheese. Garnish with additional lime slices.
