A spicy and flavorful appetizer (or sharing dish), perfect for an evening with friends. Crunchy nachos covered with melted cheese, refreshed by sour cream and fresh pico de gallo, with the right touch of heat thanks to the green sauce and Tabasco. An explosion of flavors and textures. With its explosive aromas of grapefruit, mango and lychee, Machete takes on the challenge of spicy nachos with power and style. Its high alcohol content (7.6%) softens the heat of the chili pepper, while the bold bitterness (52 IBU) cuts through the richness of the cheese and sour cream. Its tropical aromas stand out among the coriander, lime and tomatoes of the pico de gallo, creating a bold and balanced pairing. Why it works: Machete makes no compromises, and neither do the nachos. Both are intense, rich and bold. This pairing is an explosion of flavor that tests the senses, but rewards those looking for strong emotions on the plate and in the glass.
Prepare the pico de gallo: cut the tomatoes and onion into small cubes, finely chop the coriander and chili pepper. Combine everything in a bowl with lime juice and a pinch of salt. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Make the cheese sauce: heat the milk in a small saucepan, add the starch dissolved in a little cold water and stir until it begins to thicken. Add the grated cheese and paprika, stirring until creamy. Adjust salt and pepper.
Assemble the nachos: arrange the chips on a baking tray, pour the hot cheese sauce on top, then add spoonfuls of sour cream and pico de gallo. Finish with a few drops of green hot sauce and Tabasco to taste.
Serve immediately, with lime wedges for a fresh touch.
The dish should be eaten immediately to prevent the nachos from softening. The separate components (pico de gallo, cheese sauce) can be stored in the fridge for 1 day.
