7-Eleven Nachos Copycat Recipe

Ingredients:

• For the Nachos:

  • 1 large bag of tortilla chips (use round chips for authenticity)
  • 1 cup pickled jalapeño slices (as desired)

• For the Cheese Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or American cheese for a more authentic texture)
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • Salt to taste

• Optional Toppings:

  • Salsa
  • Sour cream
  • Diced onions
  • Guacamole

Instructions:

1. Make the Cheese Sauce:

   • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk together to form a roux. Cook for about 1 minute, whisking constantly.
   • Gradually add the milk, whisking to combine. Continue to cook and whisk until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
   • Reduce the heat to low and slowly add the shredded cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
   • Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

2. Assemble the Nachos:

   • Spread a generous layer of tortilla chips on a large serving platter.
   • Pour the warm cheese sauce evenly over the chips.
   • Top with pickled jalapeño slices to your taste.

3. Serve:

   • Serve the nachos with additional toppings like salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or diced onions if desired.
