Food Republic June 11, 2013

Article featured image — Does your nacho recipe need some Spanish flair? We're here to solve that problem.

There’s no better place for a nachos cookbook than the shelves of the Food Republic library, and no better way to snack than updating a beloved classic. That’s something we learned after replacing jack cheese with manchego and ground beef with chorizo. Now we’re ruined for life.

My favorite discovery since Nachos NY began is my love of chorizo. It tastes excellent with everything, especially here with the Manchego.
