Whether it’s for a surprise game day snack or party, this simple nachos recipe is perfect and easy to prepare. Most of the work is stacking the ingredients.
Tortilla chips stacked with ground turkey meat, cheddar cheese, chopped black olives, green onions, and jalapeños. Extra hot sauce is optional depending on your taste buds.
The meat needs to be chopped into small pieces while it’s cooking so that it spreads all over the chips.
The cheese will help keep the meat on the chips and the toppings from falling off.
Some guacamole or sour cream scooped on top also makes it taste amazing.
Also works well for a movie night or binge watching at home snack. It’s best to eat nachos hot right out of the oven so the tortilla chips are nice and crispy. They will get soggy from the moisture of the meat after about 25 minutes so keep that in mind when serving.
Nachos are a restaurant favorite appetizer you can make at home.

Tortilla Chips
Organic thin & crispy tortilla chips make an excellent base for nachos. They are not super salty and stay crisp even with all the toppings.
Ground Meat Chopper
Five blade design to easily chop meat in the pan. Works better than a spatula to break the ground meat down into tiny pieces.
