Loaded Nachos {Brazilian Style}

These loaded nachos add a little Brazillian flair to a favorite appetizer.

Seasoned meats, mozzarella cheese, jalapenos, and avocados are piled on along with a super easy chimichurri sauce!

You are going to flip for this tasty nachos recipe! We’re taking nachos to all new heights with these loaded elevated nachos. Packed with cooked chicken and pork loin, multiple cheeses, blue and yellow corn torillas (for health and color) as well as a homemade chimichurri sauce over the top is what makes these anything but your average nachos.

Fully Loaded Nachos

I spiced up diced chicken and pork and cooked them until browned and fragrant. I placed both types of meat on a mix of corn tortilla chips and then added some creamy mozzarella and crumbled queso Blanco cheese. I broiled this in the oven for 5 minutes or just until bubbly and then I hit it with spicy jalapenos, cool avocados, and a simple, homemade chimichurri sauce.

The chimichurri sauce is adapted from my chimichurri guacamole. Fresh parsley and cilantro are processed together along with olive oil, lime, oregano, and red wine vinegar. All the textures and flavors of these Brazillian nachos will definitely satisfy your tastebuds.

FAQs

What toppings do you put on nachos?

While I share a great list of ingredients here to put on your nachos keep in mind that you can add or omit just about anything you want to suit your own tastebuds. This means you can use ground beef, grilled corn, beans, olives, pickled onions, or even tofu and it would still taste amazing. Just use ingredients that you already love and you should be good1

How do you keep loaded nachos from getting soggy?

A great way to prevent the tortilla chips from getting soggy is to heat the cheese on the chips for a few minutes before adding any wet toppings. this includes salsa, guacamole, or sour cream. adding wetter ingredients before warming up the cheese means those juices can get to the tortilla chip and make it soggy more quickly.

What do you eat with loaded nachos?

Loaded nachos are usually a meal on their own but you can serve yours as an appetizer or a side dish if desired. Serve it up with anything from black beans or retired beans, Mexican rice, guacamole, or any number of cheesy dips or salsas like my Bloody Mary Salsa.
