<p>Here’s the ultimate life question: Are you team popcorn or team nachos? Or perhaps team both? I looove going to the cinema and a crucial part of the cinematic experience for me is the nachos and cheese combo. Normally, I finish the whole thing before the movie even starts. Sometimes, I feel like doing a ‘cinema’ day in the comfort of my home. Or what I like to call; Netflix-and-binge (That should totally be a thing). And that’s when this homemade nachos and cheese dip recipe finds its time to shine!</p>

<p>It’s also ideal for serving to guests when you’re hosting a small get-together or party. It’s received very enthusiastically, and it’s gone before the cheese dip has time to get cold. Bonus: You can make around five times the cinema portion for the same price. Not to mention, they taste so much better. Especially the cheese dip! The cinema version (although I still love it) has a bit of an artificial texture and flavour. These homemade nachos are perfectly spiced and crispy, and the dip makes it the ultimate combo.</p>

<p>So, how does one make homemade nachos? By baking corn tortillas. It’s beyond easy and simple!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s some tips:</p>
<ul>
<li>Brush them with oil AND butter! I tested butter vs oil. The butter-only batch had a nicer colour but wasn&#8217;t as crisp. The oil-only batch was crispy and tastier but dull-looking. So, I mixed them together and used both &#8211; perfect!</li>
<li>Sprinkle very lightly with the salt and spices. It is better to add more spice after baking so you can taste-test and gauge heat level. In my first batch, I over-spiced before baking and couldn’t adjust afterwards.</li>
<li>You can customize my cheese dip recipe as you like, but I find these 2 cheese combos work best for that familiar nacho cheese dip. Another option is to substitute some of the cheddar for queso.</li>
</ul>
<p>As always, let me know if you make them, I’d love to see!</p>
<p>Happy Netflix-and-bingeing, <a name="recipejump"></a></p>
