[@gurubivolaru5114]

Trying to overcomplicate comfort food is just dumb. Nachos and chips are things I just pick from the store on a friday night and spend some hours in front of TV eating it. I don't want to spend an hour picking the ingredient the another hour preparing it. If I had this much time to spend I would certainly not eat nachos.

[@LaughingGenius]

Babish is always such a delightful mix of things I deeply agree with and things that are not in any way understandable. I know those refried beans aren't on the 'not hot' table.

Culinary Physics: They totally forget to heat the chips and cheese so the chips are ultra crispy and warm so the cheese is melt-in-your-mouth. They went through all the description of choosing cheese that melts well with strings when you pull and you FAILED to heat it up? Whats up Babish & Epicurioius? Taking viewers for granted? The best part about nachos thoughtfully layered on a jellyroll pan is to heat up the chip & cheese layer, pull it out and eat with cold toppings.

Red Onion, Cilantro, Black Olives, radish, pickled Jalapenos CONDIMENTS: Guacamole (make your own), fresh salsa or pico de gallo, red onion, salt, pepper, Cholulu, Crema Mexicana (cultured sour cream) you can make your own, refried beans.

EAT.

[@Greywolf831]

The “secret” to nachos and what elevates them from good to great is freshly cooked tortilla chips. Doesn’t matter if you make the dough yourself or buy tortillas in a bag and cut them up. It takes and extra 10 minutes and can even overcome lackluster toppings.

[@homeboi808]

Costs a pretty penny for the oil though.

[@fireinacan]

This is some solid tips on how to think through crafting nachos-- but rest assured you can ignore everything he just said and your nachos will still be delicious, because it turns out that baking cheese and topping on corn chips is just wonderful no matter how many corners you cut!

Never heard of radishes as a nacho topping. But maybe throw them and the brine from the pickled jalapenos into a pan and quick pickle them.

[@Alex-wg4xd]

I'd pickle the red onion first. It is nearly perfect on nachos.

Refried Beans (cooked in bacon drippings) on the chip first, a bite sized piece of fajita, some freshly grated cheese (Babish's blend is a good one), That's all for the nachos before they go in the oven. A bowl of guacamole and a bowl of pickled jalapeños on the side. Sometimes pico, if tomatoes are in season. Crema is in every store here.

I like doing everything with intent. I don't know about adding other veg when you already add salsa or pico de gallo and instead of individual chorizo and then individual refried beans, go ahead and combine the two. Frijoles con chorizo is awesome with chips (or with eggs, or rolled up in a burrito or with sopes or... you get the idea). Just put it together separately and then spoon it over your baked chips and cheese when they're done. Top with some crumbly queso fresco (yes, even more cheese) and you've got yourself a party.

[@msjkramey]

With store bought pico de Gallo, it sometimes has a weird aftertaste that was familiar but I couldn't place. Finally looked at the ingredients and... they add cucumber for bulk, and that cucumber is often "piffy" as my grandmother used to say. I can't remember if that's from it being underripe or overripe but it's not good

Hello! Vegetarian nacho maker here. My jaw dropped when Babish said black beans are not flavourful! If you want flavourful black beans on your nachos: put a can of beans in a small pot (juices included), add a heaping teaspoon of cumin, chili powder, sprinkle of cayenne, bay leaf, and half a tsp of oregano, bring to a boil, and then simmer for 10-15 minutes. When the bean mixture has gotten thicker feel free to add lime juice and cilantro. You can also use taco seasoning with the beans or add/mix up the spices!

From Wikipedia: Radishes are grown and consumed throughout the world, being mostly eaten raw as a crunchy salad vegetable with a pungent, slightly spicy flavor, varying in intensity depending on its growing environment. There are numerous varieties, varying in size, flavor, color, and length of time they take to mature. Radishes owe their sharp flavor to the various chemical compounds produced by the plants, including glucosinolate, myrosinase, and isothiocyanate. They are sometimes grown as companion plants and suffer from few pests and diseases. They germinate quickly and grow rapidly, common smaller varieties being ready for consumption within a month, while larger daikon varieties take several months. Being easy to grow and quick to harvest, radishes are often planted by novice gardeners. Another use of radish is as a cover or catch crop in winter,[1] or as a forage crop.[2] Some radishes are grown for their seeds; others, such as daikon, may be grown for oil production. Others are used for sprouting. You're welcome

You should give arrachera a try for nachos. I would say it's the deluxe nacho protein of choice here in Mexico. Make sure not to overcook the arrachera.

0:18 You know no one here calls you by your name(s). As far as we're concerned you've renamed yourself Babish.

If your Nachos don't start with freshly fried, homemade tortilla chips, then they are not "Perfect Nachos". It is INCREDIBLY easy to make your own tortilla chips and takes less than ten minutes to do. Freshly fried tortilla chips even with just cheese and a slice of jalapeno are miles above anything else made with store-bought tortilla chips. Yes, it is that big of a difference.

I am going to call cilantro / coriander, "devil's lettuce" from now on 🤣🤣🤣

hahahah i love this guy, 'When I make chili, I make them without beans, im not a beans guy'' same here friend, same here

[@raeperonneau4941]

There is only one store bought chip in the states where you can get them… Juanita’s!!! They are amazing. When I lived in a state where I couldn’t buy them, I had them shipped in and hoarded them. 😂

[@dmays67]

Bro I LOVE how you deconstructed this dish. So easy to get wrong but you put time and thought into it and what a result! Sorry (not really) but I too struggle with soap weed. Bravo! Looked amazing!

[@thomasm1489]

Awesome, but if you’re doing beans put it on your first layer and heat them too. Bean and cheese yumm.

[@xero5727]

this guy really knows his way around the kitchen, I bet he had solid culinary training, he really should do a cooking channel called Binging with Babish or something, and also release cooking books

[@coronalights9693]

haha good one 😐

[@holyheretic3185]

Babish you don't understand until your high, want nachos and only have scoops, it may take a little longer but every scoop being the perfect nacho bite is amazing.

[@samfisher5572]

Knew I shouldn't have watched this... I want nachos now.

"Like trying to grate a snake" OMG, I lost it. Beer out the nose lost it!! 🤣😂

Make your own corn tortilla chips they are super easy. The best corn tortillas to buy are the ARIZONA LABEL CORN TORTILLAS THEY ARE A BIT YELLOW AND THIN BUT NOT TOO THIN JUST perfect. Heat up corn oil cut tortillas with scissors ✂️ so much faster to whatever size u prefer them fry em and ENJOY! They taste deli and they are not salty. U don’t need more salt than the nacho cheese. Add pickled jalapeños finely chopped into cheese sauce u will love it!

I'm in Colorado, so it doesn't feel like nachos without green chili. New Mexico feels me.

[@violetviolet888]

Cypressina: HATCH green chili.

Not even passed the chips and already suggesting something not sold where I live. Classic Babish.
