My Very Own Nachos Supreme

January 22, 2011

4:00 p.m.-ish

Home sweet home

I made my very own nachos supreme yesterday. I used queso de bola for two reasons: (1) to save some bucks since it's basically part of New Year's Day leftovers and (2) I love cheese - no matter what shape or texture.

 

Grate it, grate it good!

 Fresh from the microwave! Nah, the cheese didn't melt as in melt. Think mozzarella.

Okay, the ingredients. No exact measurement here. Common sense and my picky taste buds prevailed.

1) nacho chips

2) shredded red & green cabbage

3) white onion

4) tomatoes

4) ground beef & pork (pre-cooked with Magic Sarap, lotsa pepper, red onion, garlic and fish sauce to taste)

5) queso de bola.

Perfect with ice-cold Coke. :)

are silent witness to Davao’s watery past. (taken from one of Jack's Ridge markers)
