If you have ever wondered what to do with leftover chili, these Chili Con Carne Nachos are your answer! Tortilla chips are topped with easy homemade chili con carne, drizzled with queso and sour cream and finished with a sprinkle of onions! This is the ultimate game-day (any day!) treat!
Ingredients
- 1 10-12 oz. bag, tortilla chips
- 1 cup Chili con Carne recipe here
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese See Note 1
- 1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce (queso) store bought or homemade, See Note 2
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup red onion and green onions, finely chopped or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven for 350°F. Line a baking sheet with with parchment paper for easy clean up.
- Spread tortilla chips on the baking sheet in an EVEN layer.
- Spoon chili all over chips making sure each chip has a bit of chili on it. Then sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Again, make sure every chips has some cheese!!!
- Bake 4-5 minutes until cheese is melted and chili is warm.
- While nachos are baking, heat the nacho cheese sauce/queso (if using store bought) in the microwave until heated through and pourable.
- When the nachos come out of the oven, drizzle with hot queso, sour cream and then top with onions. Dig in immediately!
Notes
Note 1: I love using a combination of different cheeses here. Sharp cheddar, white cheddar, Monterey Jack and Pepper Jack are all delish and melt really well. I also prefer to shred my own cheese for nachos. Bagged cheeses are coated with cellulose and don't melt as well as freshly grated cheese!
