Fish Nachos are quick, easy, great for a crowd, and packed with awesome flavors! Plus, this recipe is fun and easy to make. Tortilla chips are topped with fish, onions, peppers, and cheese and baked until hot.

Inspired by my love of fish tacos, Fish Nachos are just as good and maybe even easier to make. They’re fun to eat too!

You know that unspoken rule when eating nachos that you stay on your side of the platter? Well, I’m the person that’ll reach all the way over to the opposite side of the dish to get that one chip that’s full of all the toppings! 😏 There are no boundaries in my nacho-chip-eating rulebook!

There’s also no boundaries when it comes to toppings. If you like lettuce, sour cream, tomatoes, cilantro, salsa, etc go ahead and add it. That’s another beautiful thing about nachos, they can easily be made to accommodate any taste preference.

HOW TO MAKE FISH NACHOS

  1. I like to use tilapia, but you can use any mild fish.
  2. Most noteworthy, fish cuts more easily when it’s frozen or slightly thawed.
  3. I seasoned the fish with Joe’s Stuff Seasoning blend. It has salt, herbs & spices, dehydrated garlic, paprika, dehydrated onion. You can order at that link or you can use another Cajun seasoning blend such as Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning, McCormick Cajun Seasoning, or Louisiana Cajun Seasoning. You can also season with blackening seasoning if you have that on hand.
  4. My favorite chips are On the Border Tortilla Chips, but you can use whatever tortilla chips you have or prefer. There are a lot of tortilla chips available now blue, gluten-free, organized, low-salt, cauliflower, and sweet potato to name a few. Choose what you like best.
  5. I used cheddar cheese and feta cheese. I really like the tang of feta, but if you don’t like it substitute Monterrey or mozzarella. As well, you can omit the feta and double the cheddar.

HOW LONG TO BAKE THE NACHOS

The nachos will be ready once the cheese is melted. Typically, it takes mine about 10 minutes. However, cook time depends on how many toppings you have. Watch the chips carefully to avoid over-cooking them. Tortilla chips can burn fairly easily. They’re ready as soon as they start to brown.

    I tried these a few weeks ago and loved them. September 24th the Packers will be playing the Seahawks on Monday night football. Planning on watching the game outside with the new wireless receiver. Decided to have a nacho bar as the snacks. I'll be offering the fish mixture and a brat mixture as the main choices along with the regular toppings. If the weather doesn't cooperate everything is easily moved to the basement.

    Thanks so much for the recipe.
