How do I make the fresh salsa for these nachos?

Saute large tomatoes, garlic, and a serrano chile pepper in a pan until the tomatoes are slightly burnt, then add salt and smash to a salsa-like consistency.

What kind of tofu should I use for this recipe?

Use a 15-ounce block of firm tofu, pressed until almost all water is drained, then crumble it into small pieces for the nachos.

Can I prepare any components of these nachos ahead of time?

You can prepare the crumbled tofu and the pan-sauteed salsa in advance, storing them separately in the refrigerator until ready to assemble.

How can I ensure the tortilla chips stay crispy?

To enjoy the best texture, serve and eat the nachos immediately after assembly, as the tortillas will soften quickly when left under the salsa for too long.

What fresh toppings are used in this nacho recipe?

This recipe uses cubed avocado, black beans, fresh cilantro, thinly cut radishes, and sliced jalapeno as vibrant, fresh toppings.
