Notes
- Sometimes nothing beats a bowl of nachos with Doritos and many fans of south of the border cooking would say this is their favorite comfort food.
- If you are looking for an entrée instead of an appetizer, this is the recipe for you. Beef, cheese, corn and other delicious Mexican ingredients are combined to make this hearty and colorful dish, and it is something the whole family will enjoy.
- Cook it at the right nachos oven temp and the results will be spectacular. Serve this in the middle of the table and let everyone help themselves. Once they try this they are sure to request it again, and soon!
