I made this recipe exactly as written. It tasted good and was very filling. I really liked the flavors of the jalapeno peppers, green onion and olives, but I prefer a creamier cheese over the nachos. Sprinkling the monterey jack and cheddar cheese on top and putting it in the oven gave a firmer, grainy texture to the cheese instead of the smooth creamy cheese that I am used to. Made for Pick A Chef Spring 2014.

Yes I made this as well. and the nachos was very very delicious! but i struggled with the cheese as well. It wasn't grainy for me but it had more of a pizza cheese effect basically holding everything together. I would prefer a creamier cheese as well. how ever it all tasted wonderful! I would recommend making this as a movie night snack with your family or a lover. and sitting around the tv watching a nice horror movie!
