SPICY ITALIAN NACHOS

Feb.posted by Paula 32 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Spicy, mouth-watering nachos are always a hit, Spicy Italian Nachos are a different version of your favorite treat. Perfect for game day, kids’ snacks, and general entertainment.

Why Spicy Italian Nachos are the best… They’re spicy, easy, kid-friendly, and satisfying!

SPICY ITALIAN NACHOS

  • Chips. I used tortilla chips. You can fry wonton wrappers but you can also use pitas cut into wedges or pita chips.
  • Protein. I used Italian sausage and pepperoni. You can use any pizza toppings you like. Canadain bacon, chicken, and ground beef would be good choices.
  • Toppers. I chopped green and red onion, tomatoes, black olives, and pepperoncini peppers.
  • Cheese. Of course, I had to sprinkle on a good helping of mozzarella cheese. You can add your favorite melty cheese.
  • Extras. You can also add a big dollop of alfredo sauce.

EASY MEAL PREP

You can prep the ingredients the day or morning before you want to serve them.

  1. I used tortilla chips. You can also fry wonton wrappers. If you choose to use wontons, you can cook them, when they’re cool, place them in an airtight container on the countertop.
  2. Next, cook the sausage, drain, and seal in an airtight container and refrigerate.
  3. Cut all veggie toppings and store them in separate baggies in the refrigerator.

To assemble, place your chips in the bottom of a sheet pan or shallow oven-safe pan. Layer the ingredients evenly on top of the chips. Cheese should be your last layer. Pop them in the oven and heat until the cheese melts.

    Sorry, that's a joke where I live. We're missionaries in Honduras and it's really, buenas noches…good night, But we say buenas nachoes. I guess you'd have to be there to appreciate it. 🙂

    We may have met by chance…but we become friends by choice.
