Plate of nachos drizzled with cheese sauce on a table, perfect for a casual dining setting.

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 leeks 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 lime and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
  5. Off the heat, brighten it up with a grating of hard cheese and a final crack of pepper.
  6. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
