My first encounter with nachos was in the mid '70s at the Paquime
restaurante in Palomas Mexico. A small border town south of Deming, New
Mexico. They were made by placing a slice of jalapeno on the tortilla chip
and then placing some kind of goat cheese on it. The cheese was then
melted. They were really good with Tecate beer. We used to run down
there,from Silver City, for dinner once in a while. They made a Chile con
Queso T-bone steak that was great. Spread chopped mild green chiles on
after it is broiled and then melt a good cheddar cheese over it. MMMMM
Good. I do it sometimes with pork shoulder steaks.
