How to Make Ultimate Nachos with Homemade Cheese Sauce
- You will want to do these next steps very, very gradually, or your sauce will be grainy. Slowly pour cold milk into the butter mixture, whisking constantly until combined. Simmer on medium, stirring/whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Add in smoked paprika, ground chipotle, ancho chile powder, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt, stirring well.
- When ready to serve, drizzle over your favorite tortilla chips, with chopped white onion, chopped cilantro, salsa, sliced jalapenos, sour cream, and my Best Quick & Easy Guacamole.
