Raise your hands if you love drunken nachos 🙌🏽
You know what I’m talking about … that delicious heaping platter of nachos to start a night of drinking at a pub or to end the night after a long night of drinking?
We love eating pub food and nothing is more delicious than a big, giant platter of nachos with all the toppings and fixings on the side. Nachos are great to have with friends–especially with friends–to avoid the guilt of eating the whole platter by yourself. This is why nachos is one of our favourite go-to snacks when we have friends over. People can pick at it throughout the night, or eat it all in one sitting. And if you run out too quickly, it is quick to make a second platter.
Not all pub nachos are created equal. That’s why I perfected this homemade nachos recipe that is better than the pubs. Each bite from each layer has all the toppings on it. Sometimes we have this nachos for dinner because sometimes … that is okay. 🤣
What are your favourite nachos toppings, fixings, or sides? I’d love to hear your suggestion in the comments. 👇
