GIANT NACHOS VS GIANT NACHOS

3200 VS 8850 Calories

You’d think there wouldn’t be a debate over nachos, but there is.  See two separate recipes in the eyes of JP & Julia and vote on which one you’d rather eat.  Just for scale these are giant, but practical, feasible and functionally serve as one of the best shareable dishes you could ever bring to any party.

I'm a simple person and movie theater nachos are straight to the point delicious. Nacho cheese and chips. They always skimp on the cheese tho so when you make it at home, simply quadruple the recipe and you should have the adequate amount of cheese per chip ratio.
