Nacho Bar

6

We served these appetizers at the Knoxville Round 2 Tailgate Tour stop.

What do you call a table that’s not yours? Nacho table! Well… turns out our nacho table was for everyone. We had tons of people standing around enjoying these mouth-watering nachos. If you follow us on TikTok, then you have most likely seen our nacho videos. We usually like to assemble them in a pot and dump them out ensuring that the ratio of cheese, meat, and chips is perfect, but since we were serving so many people at this stop, we had to get creative. We did a Nacho Bar and covered an entire table with nachos- different concept, same great taste. We chose Adobo Chicken and Carne Asada as the meats topped with our Pico de Gallo, Queso, and Salsa Verde. One side of the table was steak, and the other side was chicken. We added our homemade Salsa Verde to the chicken. We usually like to fry our own tortilla chips, but because of time constraints we had to use store-bought chips. Trust me on this one, take the time to fry your own chips, they are so much better and will level-up your nachos!
