A vibrant platter of nacho chips with cheese, green salsa, and tomato salsa dip, perfect for sharing.

Method

  1. Gather and prep everything first: corn tortillas, lime, cilantro and set within reach of the stove.
  2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the fresh ginger and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  3. Add the al pastor and let it herb-crusted, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
  4. Stir in the lime along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
  5. Pour in the cream, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
  6. Taste and adjust, then finish with toasted nuts right before serving.
  7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
