Now you can get your favorite restaurant appetizer right at home! These Easy Loaded Mexican Nachos are topped with all your favorite ingredients and take only 12 minutes to make. Perfect for parties or lazy weekend meals.

Is there such thing as celebratory nachos? If not, I’m starting the trend, because guess what? I found a wedding dress!

**HAPPY DANCE!**

I’m so excited and a little relieved that I found a dress I loved so quickly. It was only the second store I visited, but when I saw myself in the mirror, I couldn’t stop smiling. It’s so me, and I can’t wait to wear it next year. Also, it was TOTALLY under budget. Now if that’s not a reason to celebrate, I don’t know what is!

Time to pop open a beer and dig in, because we’re celebrating with these Easy Loaded Mexican Nachos.

Word of warning: these nachos are dangerously easy to make. AND they only require about 12 minutes of your time, making these great for parties or a quick meal for one of those nights when you don’t feel like cooking.

Yes, it’s true – even I have days where I don’t want to cook. 😮

To make these Easy Loaded Mexican Nachos, all you need is a sheet pan, some tortilla chips, shredded cheese and your favorite toppings. I topped mine with lots of cheese, some chicken (which can easily be omitted to keep this vegetarian), corn, black beans, diced green chiles, red onions, tomatoes, cilantro, feta cheese, sliced jalapeños and a dollop of plain Greek yogurt.

So simple, yet so good.

I’ve always loved nachos. They’re just so fun to eat, and there are so many variations, it’s hard to get tired of them. One of my favorite things to order at a restaurant are the nachos. They’re always served in huge portions, and depending on what they’re topped with, can be super indulgent or on the healthier side. Plus, it’s always a fun game to try to guess whether the restaurant uses a nacho cheese sauce or just lots of shredded cheese as the base.

And I really, really love chips.

The only thing this meal is missing is an ice cold drink to sip on after one too many jalapeño slices. If you’re not into beer, this Frozen Margarita Recipe, Classic Mojito Recipe or Easy Sangria Recipe would do just the trick!
