Nacho Average Barbecue

How do you do your ‘cue? On a bun or by itself, cooked up with mac and cheese or nestled in a grilled cheese sandwich - there’s really no wrong way to eat barbecue! But what if you took that barbecue and used it as a tool to construct the sweetest and most tangy nachos you’ve ever tasted? Tony Roma’s wants to help you make this dream a reality.

• Choose your chips. There are so many different types of tortilla chips from which to choose! What’s your pick? Will you choose white corn, yellow corn or blue corn, or will you go totally rogue and decide on flour? These are your perfect nachos, so your choice of chip is completely up to you. You might even want to get ambitious and make your own by deep frying tortillas cut into triangles, then dusting them with your own favorite rub.
• Pile on the meat. Choose pre-cooked pulled pork or chicken from Tony Roma’s, and you won’t even need to season it. That’s because Tony Roma’s pre-cooked barbecue is seasoned to perfection, marinated and slow cooked to yield the best barbecue flavor you’ve ever tasted.
• Choose your toppings. What are your favorite toppings? Do you like to keep it simple or pile it high? Jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, beans, guacamole, sour cream and even coleslaw can be added to your nacho plate for the perfect combination of flavors to make your mouth water. Remember, anything that should be cool needs to be on top of the concoction, to keep it from being smothered by warm ingredients.
• Melt your cheese. Are you a saucer or a melter? This is another part of nachos that is completely subjective. Some people want their nachos dripping with gooey nacho sauce, while others want straight cheese, so they pile on the shredded cheese and pop the nachos into the oven for a few minutes. This requires a watchful eye, so that the chips don’t burn, but it’s worth it if you like warm chips. If you prefer to pour on sauce, you can choose to buy pre-made nacho sauce or make it yourself by melting your favorite cheeses and additions in a double boiler, as in this recipe, or just carefully cook a mixture of butter, flour, milk and cheese, as in this recipe.
