Tips and Tricks
1 Pre-heat the oven or convection to warm the nachos and melt the cheese. This will melt the cheese into a uniform golden brown.
2 It is also possible to heat the nachos in a fry pan. Use a good quality cast-iron fry pan which distributes heat evenly and melts the cheese adequately.
3 Veggies for the loaded salsa need to be chopped as finely as possible. Use a sturdy veggie knife that will dice assorted vegetables into a fine mix.
4 Cooked and steamed kidney beans are an integral part of veggie loaded nachos. Boil them ahead of time in a pressure cooker to cook them perfectly.
5 For a more desi-style effect, toss the kidney beans lightly in a fry pan before mixing them with the other vegetables. Sprinkle garam masala, red chilli powder and turmeric over the kidney beans.
