Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This party nachos with chorizo and spicy cheese sauce recipe was in last month's UK delicious magazine.   The recipe doesn't appear on the delicious UK website, but it is on the delicious Australia website.   Everything about the recipe appealed...the fact it is nachos, there's chorizo in it and there's cheese sauce too - all yum!

It's a perfect recipe for sharing and even better that you can make both the chorizo mixture and cheese sauce the day before (see Tips).

Both the chorizo mixture and cheese sauce are quite rich, so enjoy with some extra sour cream and slices of avocado on the side.

Tips

  • Make ahead – the chorizo mixture and cheese sauce can be made up to 1 day ahead and chilled in separate containers.   Just heat gently in the microwave or in saucepans to loosen before continuing with step 3.
  • This recipe for party nachos with chorizo and spicy cheese sauce is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.

  2. For the cheese sauce, put the butter in a saucepan over a low to medium heat and stir until melted. Add the flour, garlic powder, onion granules and cayenne and cook for 2 minutes. Add the milk in 2 batches, whisking to to make sure there are no lumps. Whisk in the sour cream. Turn the heat up to medium and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in half the cheese and season, to taste.
  3. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas mark 6. Scatter the tortilla chips over a baking tray or ovenproof serving dish, then spoon over the chorizo mixture, followed by the cheese sauce.
