Delicious Chili Nachos Recipe for Game Day

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 cup tortilla chips
  • 1 cup chili (canned or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1 cup sour cream (for topping)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    A hot oven ensures even melting of the cheese.
  2. Layer Chips

    Spread tortilla chips evenly on a baking sheet.

    Ensure chips overlap slightly for full coverage.
  3. Add Chili

    Spoon the chili evenly over the tortilla chips.

    Use a mild chili if serving to kids.
  4. Top with Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously on top of the chili.

    Mix cheeses for a more complex flavor.
  5. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, until cheese is melted.

    Watch closely to prevent burning.
  6. Serve with Toppings

    Remove from oven and top with sour cream if desired.

    Add jalapeños or guacamole for extra flavor.
