What toppings should I put in these nachos?

I used diced avocados, sliced radishes, spicy melted cheese, pico de gallo, jalapeno, or serrano peppers and added a dollop of sour cream. You can also use shredded lettuce, black beans, corn, guacamole, and diced red onion.

How do you layer the nachos?

I add a layer of nachos on a serving platter, add some cheese and meat, add another layer of chips, and top with the rest of the meat and desired toppings.

What is the best cheese for these nachos?

I used aged spicy cheddar cheese for this recipe, but you can use cojita, queso, or any other cheese you prefer.

How can I make taco seasoning if I prefer?

A quick version I’ve come up with is ½ tablespoon of kosher salt, ½ tablespoon of black pepper, ½ tablespoon of cumin, one tablespoon of chili powder, two teaspoons of onion powder, and two teaspoons of garlic powder. I typically have these seasonings in my pantry, and when combined, they give me the taco seasoning flavor I need.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees.
Mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
Use the seasoning blend, season the short ribs on both sides. You can double the seasoning recipe if you prefer.
Place the short ribs in a roasting pan or dutch oven meat face down. Mix the beef broth, liquid smoke, and Worcestershire sauce in a large measuring cup. Pour the mixture into the pan. Add the garlic cloves. Cover with aluminum foil and put into the oven for 3-4 hours. The meat should be fork tender. Discard bones.
Use two forks to shred the beef. I highly recommend discarding the leftover fat. Place the tortilla chip on a large baking sheet and place in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Once finished roasting, take half of the chips and place them on a serving platter. Sprinkle with some short rib meat and drizzle with about ⅔ rds of the melted cheese.
Add the next layer of chips, the rest of the short rib meat, melted cheese, and your desired toppings.

Notes

Once the short ribs have cooked, let sit covered in aluminum foil for at least 15-30 minutes to let rest.
