Nothing beats a great appetizer like an easy nachos recipe. Homemade tortilla chips topped with a beef mixture, shredded cheese and the best toppings? I’m sold every time.

There are so many different ways to make cheesy nachos. In fact, you don’t even need to use crunchy tortilla chips as the base- you can use potato chips, tater tots or just about any other thing you can think of.

But the best part, of course, is all the toppings. Don’t just stop at beef with homemade taco seasoning; try other ground meat like ground pork, ground turkey or even rotisserie chicken. The options are really endless.

Of course everyone has their own favorite toppings, but here are some popular ingredients to have on hand when making nachos:

  • Sour cream
  • Ground beef
  • Refried beans
  • Black beans
  • Nacho cheese sauce
  • Red onion
  • Monterey jack cheese
  • Jalapeno peppers
  • Hot sauce
  • Sharp cheddar cheese
  • Red bell pepper
  • Cotija cheese
  • Favorite salsa
  • Mexican cheese blend

And we can’t forget about dessert! So there are even a few dessert nacho recipes too.
