Ingredients

Tortilla chips - the crunchy base for your nachos; you can use store-bought or make your own.

Chili con carne - a flavorful mix of ground beef, beans, and spices; you can use homemade or canned chili.

Cheese - a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack melts beautifully and adds a rich, creamy taste; you can also use a vegan cheese substitute.

Sour cream - adds a tangy and cooling element to the dish; Greek yogurt can be a healthier alternative.

Jalapeños - sliced fresh or pickled, these peppers add heat and zing; use green chilies for a milder option.

Tips

  • Preheat your oven to ensure even cooking.
  • Layer the chips and toppings evenly to get a good mix of flavors in every bite.
  • Use a preheated baking sheet to prevent the chips from getting soggy.
  • Bake the nachos until the cheese is melted and bubbly, but not too long to avoid burning the chips.
  • Experiment with additional toppings like olives, guacamole, or salsa.

How to Serve

Serve the Chili Con Carne Nachos hot and fresh out of the oven, so the cheese is still gooey and delicious. You can serve them on a large platter, making it easy for everyone to dig in and enjoy.

  • Game night - serve the nachos with a variety of dips, like guacamole, salsa, and queso.
  • Taco Tuesday - pair the nachos with tacos, fajitas, or burritos for a complete Mexican-inspired feast.
  • Movie night - enjoy the nachos with cold drinks while watching your favorite flick.
