The World's Most Nutrient Dense Nachos
Most nachos are built for speed: bagged chips, processed cheese, feedlot beef. Quick and easy, but empty of real nourishment.
We wanted to flip that script. Together with Masa and Raw Farms, we set out to craft nachos that don’t just taste incredible — they actually deliver serious nutrition. The result? A dish that feels indulgent yet honors the land, the animals, and the people behind every ingredient.
Why These Nachos Are Different
- Grassfed, Grass-Finished Ribeye from Primal Pastures: Raised on open pasture, full of healthy fats, B vitamins, and flavor that grain-fed beef simply can’t touch.
- Heirloom Masa Chips (@masa): Made the traditional way — non-GMO corn, nixtamalized for digestibility and depth of flavor.
- Raw Milk & Cheddar (@rawfarms): Alive with enzymes, probiotics, and nutrients that pasteurization strips away. The richness of raw milk creates a cheese sauce unlike anything else.
- Farm-sourced ingredients from the Primal Farm: Fresh guacamole, roasted corn, cherry tomatoes, and jalapeños — bright, simple, and full of life.
This isn’t fast food. It’s real food.
The Recipe
Serves 4–6
Ribeye
Instructions
- Season a grassfed ribeye with sea salt, chipotle powder and cracked black pepper
- Sear in cast iron with beef tallow until medium-rare (125–130°F).
- Rest 10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
Raw Milk Cheese Sauce
Ingredients
- ½ white onion
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 cups raw milk (@rawfarms)
- 2 cups shredded raw cheddar (@rawfarms)
- Gluten-free roux (see below)
- Sea salt, to taste
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the raw milk, onion, and bay leaf over medium heat.
- Bring to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat. Steep for 5 minutes to infuse flavor.
- Strain out the onion and bay leaf. Return the milk to low heat.
- Gradually whisk in the cooled gluten-free roux until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Add the raw cheddar slowly, whisking until melted and smooth.
- Season with sea salt to taste. Serve warm.
Gluten-Free Roux
Ingredients
- 50 g butter
- 50 g gluten-free flour
Melt butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add flour, stirring constantly, until lightly nutty and fragrant (2–3 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly before adding to the sauce.
Raw Farms Kefir Guacamole
Ingredients
- ½ cup Raw Farms Kefir
- 4 ripe avocados
- ½ red onion, finely minced (about ½ cup)
- 1–2 Tbsp fresh lime juice (or more to taste)
- ½ tsp coarse salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½–1 tsp chili powder (to taste)
Instructions
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
- Mash the avocado with a fork until mostly smooth, keeping some texture.
- Stir in the Raw Farms Kefir, red onion, lime juice, salt, pepper, and chili powder until creamy and well combined.
- Press plastic wrap directly on the surface and refrigerate to keep fresh.
Assembly
- Layer Masa heirloom tortilla chips on a platter.
- Drizzle generously with the Raw Farms cheese sauce.
- Top with slices of Primal Pastures Rib Eye, spoonfuls of guacamole, roasted corn kernels, pico de gallo, and jalapeños.
- Finish with a touch of flaky sea salt.
Serve immediately, ideally with extra cheese sauce on the side.
When you start with ingredients raised and made the right way, even nachos can become something extraordinary. This dish is proof: comfort food can be decadent, beautiful, and deeply nourishing, all at once.
