Tasty nachos topped with melted cheese, jalapenos, and diced tomatoes, perfect for a snack.

Method

  1. Start by prepping your corn tortillas, lime, cilantro so the cooking goes quickly.
  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. Turn the heat up, add the carnitas taco, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
  4. Fold in the cilantro and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
  5. Add the chicken stock and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Off the heat, brighten it up with a spoonful of yogurt and a final crack of pepper.
  7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
