30 Next-Level Nacho Recipes That Are All About the Toppings

Whether you’re hosting a Game Day party or just looking for a good, old-fashioned plate of comfort food, nachos always hit the spot. They’re crunchy, cheesy and the perfect blank canvas for all your favorite toppings (like homemade salsa or guac!)—what’s not to love about that? Best of all, they’re infinitely customizable; you can dress them up for breakfast or dessert (or make them the centerpiece of your table with a giant, 6-foot spread) just as easily as you can whip up the classic version. Whatever you decide you’re going to need Rachael’s quick and easy take on this crowd-pleasing dish. Topped with fresh pico de gallo, beef, beans and a creamy pepper Jack cheese sauce, they truly live up to their name; they’re super!

Keep it simple and top tortilla chips with rotisserie chicken (doused in a tangy Buffalo-style sauce, of course), celery and blue cheese for a quick and flavorful snack or app.

Good things take time — and Ree’s Cowboy Nachos are no exception. Plan ahead: the beef brisket needs to marinate for at least 24 hours before you cook it.

Never thought about adding chocolate to your plate of nachos? You should! Spiced Mexican chocolate is the perfect complement to the savory flavors in the mole sauce for these cheese- and cilantro-topped chips.
