How To Make Nacho Bell Grande

  1. The choice of the chips is the first thing you want to check. Tortilla chips which are thicker and broader are the chips of choice. They are well able to withstand any fluids from the other ingredients without soakage making them less delicious and unappealing to the eye. You need to be extra careful in the choice of the flavoring. You may choose to avoid chips having too much pepper or salt.
  2. Type of cheese to use – It is preferable to buy cheese that easily melts on exposure to heat and can produce a perfect harmony with the tortilla chips. Avoid preservatives on cheese.
  3. Allow for a perfect harmony of the ingredients in that those that should be kept cold remain cold and those that ought to be hot remain so. This will be done by adding the cold ingredients just before serving.
