Nachos for Game Day
Game season is well and truly here. Where I am not the biggest sports fan, I usually cook or show up just for the food. When I brought them to a friends house last weekend, I prepared them up to the stage they go into the oven, then heated them to melt the cheese when I got there. It was the hit of the day!
Nachos for a meal? I do it all the time
These nachos were gone in minutes and they all looked at me with hungry eyes looking for more! This recipe feeds about 8 people so it was lucky that there was just 4 of that day so we could have double helpings. These Queso Fundido Skillet Nachos are so loaded, they can be served as a meal.
This dish is inspired by the ah-mazing Mexican dish queso fundido, which is a pan of melted cheese and chorizo (queso fundido translates to melted cheese) and since they are 2 of the toppings of these nachos, that is why I chose the name. It’s basically a marriage of queso fundido and ultimate nachos.
Speaking of queso, if you’re a fan of Chipotle restaurants queso blanco. You can make it at home now because I have a copycat recipe that is very popular Chipotle Copycat Queso Blanco and so good!
This is everything you want in a nachos. The perfect feast for game watching, this pan of goodness is perfect to feed a crowd. The really flavor comes from using chorizo, sautéed with onions for even extra flavor. When the cheese melts on the chips and the chorizo sticks to the cheese, then you get the flavors and textures from the other toppings, it’s a mouth watering bite, or 2, or 3.

I have a question and I know this is an older post but hope you see this: Do you add the tortillas afterwards or what? Kinda confused, not really a nacho maker but wanted to try this recipe.
I get an email when there is a comment so I am always available to answer any questions 🙂
