Nachos Nirvana…This quick and easy meaty nachos recipe has just the right amount of bite to make your guests do a Mexican wave of appreciation! Serve up as a festive snack at your next get-together with family and friends or turn it into a sheet-pan dinner by sprinkling some grated cheese on top and baking it in the oven for the perfect “gooey-to-crunchy” ratio.
The beauty of these Mexican-style nachos is that you can choose your own taste adventure by loading them with the various suggested toppings in the recipe: Chopped avocado, cucumber, tomato, olives, pickled jalapeños… The options are of course endless, so why not come up with some of your own topping preferences along the way?
Don’t fret if you can’t get hold of proper nachos as Doritos chips (the cheese flavour comes highly recommended) works just as well. This quick and easy Nacho recipe is my absolute favorite go-to meal when I need dinner on the table in a flash.
From start to serving, this dish takes under an hour to make and is sure to become one of your favourite go-to meals when you need dinner on the table in a flash.
CHEF’S TIP
- Serve a bowl of sour cream mixed with finely chopped fresh cilantro and grated lime zest alongside.
