Delicious shrimp nachos topped with fresh vegetables, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream.

Method

  1. Gather and prep everything first: corn tortillas, lime, cilantro and set within reach of the stove.
  2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the leeks in a little butter until translucent.
  3. Add the birria and let it caramelized, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
  4. Fold in the kosher salt and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
  5. Pour in the vegetable stock, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
  6. Taste and adjust, then finish with a grating of hard cheese right before serving.
  7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
