Chili Cheese Nachos By Kelly Miller • September6,2012 • Updated February 1, 2022 • 6 Comments 2.2K Jump to Recipe Chili Cheese Nachos recipe made at home! Tortilla chips piled high with leftover chili, Rotel, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, and chopped jalapenos. No need for takeout with these nachos! So every time we go out to eat, which is just about never anymore, we go all out and get an appetizer. Usually it’s nachos, spinach and artichoke dip, stuffed mushrooms… yeah pretty much those are the favorites. I was thinking, why not serve an appetizer for dinner? Not all the time, but switch it up! This thing was HUGE and it was so fun. Add some more jalapenos to dial up the spice or omit if your family is super sensitive, this recipe is more about the method than the ingredients. My weird kid liked the sour cream best of all. :/ Chili Cheese Nachos Chili Cheese Nachos recipe made at home!
