Cheesy Nachos

It is football season, and it’s time to meet up with friends and organize watch parties. Party snacks are an important part of any party, and recently, when I hosted one at my place, I wanted to serve something that was easy to make and went with the theme. So, I served Cheesy Nachos with sour cream dip. They were an instant success. The best part was that they were easy to make, and I hardly spent time in the kitchen!

So, here’s the easy-peasy recipe for Cheesy Nachos. You can also check out the recipe for Sour Cream Dip here.

Some Notes about the Recipe and Ingredient Sourcing in Germany:

1. Tortilla chips come in various flavours. The Nacho Cheese flavour works best for this recipe.
   
   
   
2. Onions, Tomatoes, and Paprika are all easily available in supermarkets. You can also add corn, fresh or canned. Corn is called Mais in German.
   
   
   
3. Chicken Breast is easily available in supermarkets in Germany. It is called Hähnchenbrustfilet in German. Wash and pat dry the fillets. Then, cut them into thin pieces and steam them.
   
   
   
4. For the vegetarian version, skip the chicken.
   
5. Canned Olives and Canned Jalapenos are easily available in supermarkets.
