I prefer my nachos the deceptively simple (looking) Texas way, where each fresh fried chip is lovingly spread with refried beans before being topped with cheese and a jalapeño slice. Some add steak or chicken, but I like these nachos meatless with sour cream and guacamole. It’s more trouble, but I find it takes a lot less nachos to satisfy me when they are prepared this way.

Are you sure about that? Because from my experience you can read five culinary textbooks that will have a "traditional" recipe written five different ways with different ingredients!

There are regional variations of many dishes that share a common name across all of them, it's silly to pretend there is exactly one way to make something or that substituting a certain ingredient nullifies the name.

I had no idea. I assumed esquites has merely elote off the cob and dressed chile powder and cilantro. Now I'm curious to try the real deal. I live a stone's throw from Santa Ana, Ca and have a bunch of legit taquerias...I've never ordered equites from them but now I want to try it.

Corn with cilantro and cheese is also tasty.

Just like "chefs", I put no trust in culinary school text books. It is a bunch of opinionated dweebs trying to convince folks that they are right. Every recipe started with peasant cooking beginnings, and any "chef" making claims on the recipes is a moron.
