HOW TO MAKES BEST BREAKFAST NACHOS

I love having a big Sunday breakfast or brunch at home. It’s a great way to enjoy your day off without spending money on eating out. …and I can do it in the comfort of my pajamas. But I don’t always have the energy to make a big brunch, so these breakfast nachos are a fun compromise. They are definitely a splurge compared to my usual weekday oats, but still very convenient. Plus, I can use whatever ingredients I have left over in my fridge as extra toppings!

What makes them BREAKFAST NACHOS?

Okay, so these are pretty much regular nachos but with poached eggs on top, but hey, what better excuse to eat nachos for breakfast? You can make them even more breakfast by adding some browned breakfast sausage or crumbled bacon, but I went with vegetarian nachos this time.

What else can I add?

I topped my nachos with eggs, cheese, black beans, tomatoes, onions, jalapeños and sour cream, but that’s only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to possible nacho toppings. Scan your fridge to see if you have any of these other ingredients to add to your nachos:

Avocado
Salsa
Pickled red onions
Roasted corn
Sliced radishes
Cilantro
Bacon
Ham
Crumbled breakfast sausage
Shredded chicken
Diced green chiles
Lime crema
Cotija
Hot sauce

TIPS FOR MAKING NACHOS

Nachos may seem like a no-brainer, but I’ve got a few quick tips to really help take your nachos to the next level.

Use strong chips. Avoid “thin and crispy” tortilla chips and look for ones that are thick and firm because they need to be firm enough to hold all those delicious toppings!
Layer the ingredients! There’s nothing worse than getting a chip with no topping or a chip so full that it breaks under pressure, so layer your toppings for the best chip-to-topping ratio.
