Spicy Italian Nachos

Ingredients you’ll need for these 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. Canadian bacon, chicken, and ground beef would be good choices.
• Toppers. I chopped green and red onions, 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 for Spicy Italian Nachos 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, cook them and, 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.
