Beer Cheese Nachos with Candied Jalapenos and Lime Crema

Beer Cheese Nachos.
IMGP1689Doesn’t the name just sound fun?

I remember a restaurant in my hometown called Incahoots that had the best Beer Cheese Soup. When I went there that’s the first thing I ordered. They have since closed down, but I’ll always remember the taste of that soup. I haven’t tried to recreate it, but that might be a project to put on my list. As if I need to add to it.

But, thanks to my obsession with jalapenos and all things Mexican, I made you Beer Cheese Nachos.

I don’t know what beer does to cheese when they hook up, but it tastes amazing.

This recipe is SO easy, and just a few ingredients.

I added fresh pico de gallo and cilantro to mine. The lime crema works beautifully with the candied jalapenos (especially if they have seeds and are hot as hell like mine are).

    OMG, I couldn’t wait to see this recipe, even though the name implied danger. But seriously, the calories that must be in one bite of this decadent dish made me back away. Is there no little-bit-healthier alternative?
