Savory Nacho Recipes
Ahi Tuna Nachos
You know the food is good when it’s the topic of conversation days later. Marie and her husband experienced just that when she created these ahi tuna nachos. While already a staple in Northern Mexico, California, and Florida, she did dream it up independently. Here’s how she designed these nachos to fit her diet.
First, with a site called Beyond Flour, she went with gluten-free white corn tortilla chips. Next, sushi-grade tuna (she’ll teach you what to look for), soy sauce, or coconut aminos. And finally, the toppings. You have many options, from purple cabbage to avocado and mango.
Potato Nachos
These potato nachos are Simply Stacie’s way of switching up her nacho routine. But what makes these “potchos” (potato nachos) worth the extra effort? Well, there’s something so delicious and comforting about potatoes sliced into medallions, broiled and loaded with sliced green olives, taco sauce, green onions, and melty cheese.
Spicy California Sushi Nachos
The hardest part about these spicy California sushi nachos by Marzia of Little Spice Jar is choosing the protein. You can go with imitation crab, shrimp, ahi tuna, or something entirely different. But that’s after you deep fryer the wontons to make chips, slice the avocado and cucumbers, and drizzle with spicy sriracha mayo.
Nacho Fries
My only complaint about the nacho fries by Taco Bell is that the serving size is too small. But they are finger-lickin’ delicious. Lucky for us, Dana of This Silly Girl’s Kitchen created this nacho fries recipe so I we can have all the fries we dream of. She shows us how to fry the potatoes, season them, and make the perfectly dippable cheese sauce.
Middle Eastern Style Nachos
I bet you’ve never had nachos quite like these Middle Eastern Style Nachos from Dished By Kate. Fatteh, a Levantine dish, informs it. So you’ll find a base of pita chips and sticky beef seasoned with an army of flavors like cinnamon, cumin, coriander, and sumac. Finally, you’ll want to serve it with her green tahini sauce, diced pickled cucumber, and pomegranate seeds. The result is a fancy yet comforting meal almost too pretty to eat.
BBQ Chicken Nachos

And at just one hour from start to finish, they are perfect for weeknight dining. So, all you have to do is set out forks and watch them disappear!
Blackened Shrimp Nachos
Chef Dennis has a love for shrimp, rivaled only by Bubba from Forest Gump. So, naturally, he combined his love of the famous crustacean with his love of football season to create this blackened shrimp nachos recipe.

From tacos to enchiladas, there’s no shortage of Mexican-inspired meals on Chisel And Fork. But, for Ryan, there’s something about these carne asada nachos that keeps him coming back for more. Could it be the perfectly seasoned, melt-in-your-mouth, juicy, and tender flank steak? Or maybe it’s the cheese, tomatoes, avocado, and homemade tortilla chips. Hungry yet?
Asian Beef Short Rib Nachos
These Asian beef short rib nachos by Carne Diem are a unique snack or, for me, a complete meal. You have a base of crunchy wonton chips, a crisp Asian-style salad mix, sriracha, and spicy wasabi crema. But we’ve saved the best for last—the beef. The shortribs are perhaps the beefiest part of the cow, made even more irresistible with bbq rub.
