Our Loaded Nachos with Fajita Veggies
One of our favorite dinner nights is Nacho Night where we make the family our Loaded Nachos with Fajita Veggies. It’s quick, easy, and very cheesy. The key to this meal is layering. You can’t just throw all your chips on the plate and your toppings on the top. No, no, no. Just because they are called toppings does not mean they are not meant to grace the inside of your nacho. It would just be weird if we referred to them as innards, so we will stick with calling them toppings.
These nachos have lots of toppings but our favorite one to add are fajita veggies. It gives them a little bit of sweetness and flavor that sends our nachos to the next level.

Tortilla Chips – Any tortilla chip will do. Our absolute favorite is Juanita’s, or Juantonio’s depending on where you live. They are crispy, have a great flavor, and maintain their freshness if you can’t finish the bag in one sitting.
Protein – We use ground beef in our nachos because it’s quick and easy to fry up. However, these would be perfect with some shredded chicken or pork. Check out our shredded chicken from our Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas or the pork from our Crock-Pot Chili Verde Tacos.
Cheese – Oh, cheese! One must have cheese on their Nachos. We love Salsa Con Queso but any other type of nacho cheese is fine. We also use a what we call a topping cheese which is normally a mild cheddar. A cheddar jack would work great a topping cheese.
Crazy Toppings – Nachos are an amazing dish that can be transformed into a masterpiece for an individual to enjoy. Toppings are what help make Nachos your own . Go crazy here. Anything you enjoy can go on your Nachos. From salsa to cream cheese or breakfast sausage and an over easy egg. Think outside the box and enjoy.
