Yes to the first 3. I found out a while back that 4 of my top 5 favorite dishes are combinations of starch and cheese. Grilled cheese, nachos, pasta alfredo, and pizza.
Secret ingredient is to use cheese made from grass-fed cow milk. Secret cooking style is that nachos can be made in the microwave and they come out almost as good as the oven method. Now that I’m thinking about it, I have not tried using an air fryer.

Cool cafe, thanks for posting one for today Angie 
1. Yup, glad to say nachos are a thing here in my country.
2. Yes, I’m a big fan of nachos.
3. Yup, I sometimes make them at home.
4. No secret ingredient really, usually just do them with cheese lol. I like them with hamburger and peppers too but we don’t buy those very often, we always have cheese though so that’s why I just do them that way. Quick and easy

Are nachos a thing in your country?
Definitely, the country of Texas nachos ARE a big thing.
Are you a fan or a pass?
I am a fan for sure, most anytime.
If you are a fan, do you make them at home?
I do at times.
If you make them, what's your secret ingredient?
No special ingredients I just use the basic, chips, cheese and a good amount of jalapenos.

Yes
Are you a fan or a pass?
i used to love them!
If you are a fan, do you make them at home?
Always made them. They were more of a staple in my family than "taco Tuesdays" are for others.
If you make them, what's your secret ingredient?
It depends on the way i made them. Most often it was Cumin. However i did change things up with green chili and red chili, and change up the meats. i would put a bit of fresh nutmeg in it. Yes... nutmeg. It adds a little je ne sais quoi to dishes of both Mexican and Italian influences.
And now it's no longer a secrete.
Yes

Are nachos a thing in your country? They’re definitely a thing here.
Are you a fan or a pass? I like them if they’re well-made, not just like dumping neon orange plastic cheese on chips like at 7-Eleven or something. I’m kinda picky about cheese sauce. Don’t like when it’s too artificial.
If you are a fan, do you make them at home? I’ve never made them myself, but my old roommate made them for us once or twice when I lived there.
If you make them, what's your secret ingredient? If I was more of a cook, I would enjoy trying to make them with a nicer kind of meat than just ground beef. Like some carnitas or something. 😋 I also did like that my roommate made them with Doritos instead of just plain tortilla chips.

Good topic. Glad you’re willing to address important issues that don’t get talked about nearly enough.
Are nachos a thing in your country?
Yes, thank god. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a fan of my country’s imperialistic streak, but the fact that some countries don’t have them (yet) gives me pause sometimes.
Are you a fan or a pass?
What do you think?
If you are a fan, do you make them at home?
I used to. They’re like pizzas, omelettes, and stir frys (3 things I made a lot of when I could cook); versatile, you can be very particular about them, but they’re also good for using up stuff that’s laying around.
If you make them, what's your secret ingredient?
Carnitas. I always end up with about half left over when I order a carnitas plate; the leftovers are great on nachos. But even if all you’ve got are chips, beans and cheese you’ll still end up with something tasty.
Cotija cheese and crema if I was actually making them rather than just trying to use up leftovers.
People seem to like cilantro on them, but I’m one of those to whom it tastes like soap, so I always left it on the side and never eat it myself.

Thanks @Angie ! Superfoods are always a good topic 😂
Are nachos a thing in your country? Certainly, the US was built around nachos. (Ok, maybe not, but you can't go far without encountering them.)
Are you a fan or a pass? Can't really go wrong, even at Taco Bell!
If you are a fan, do you make them at home? I'm not much of a cook or preparer, but I'll at least microwave the cheese.
If you make them, what's your secret ingredient? Chili powder from the Far East 👍

Are nachos a thing in your country?
Nope. There is Taco Bell in my city though, but it isn't popular.
Are you a fan or a pass?
I don't know really. Once I ate a taco just to try at an Taco Bell and it was ok. I like the concept of eating your whole lunch rolled in some bread
Don't know if nachos are better..
If you are a fan, do you make them at home?
Never made them but it seems like a good idea. Someday I will live alone and make all the recipes that I want.
If you make them, what's your secret ingredient?
Love.
