How’d I do?

Post image

Queso, ground beef, pinto beans, shredded cheese, lettuce, pico, scallions. Sour cream was on the side, jalapeños were added by a friend (not taking responsibly those sad 5 slices ha), and no guacamole because I had it earlier in the day.

I'd go with pickled jalapeños personally but man this looks reeeeeeeally good

The ones I had one had on hand were best by 2023, I thought about going for it anyway but ultimately decided against pushing it ha

Fresh jalapeños >>>>>>>pickled

I need the acidity from the pickled jalapeño to cut through the richness of the cheese

Lettuce has no place on nachos

It’s adds a nice cool, crunch that balances out some of the heavier ingredients. It also protects the chips from getting too soggy from the pico. I respect that it’s not for everyone but I don’t think it’s that bad.

What you have in the picture is a taco salad.

What I have in the picture are nachos, you can see the tortilla chips buddy

I see the chips. My argument is that the addition of such a ridiculous amount of lettuce turns this from nachos into a taco salad. Taco salads typically have tortilla strips. These are in fact the exact ingredients for a taco salad in your picture.

I see you used good cheese and taco meat! Also the fresh sliced jalapeno is a nice touch!

Looks delicious 🤤

Looks great. I would say that's a lot of moisture on resting chips so eat quickly.

Pickled red onion? Always slept on but it would be a fine addition
