🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze. Trust me, you'll appreciate this step later!
- In a sizable skillet over medium heat, crumble the chorizo. If using fresh chorizo, ensure to remove it from its casing beforehand. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain off any excess grease. Nobody wants greasy nachos, right?
- While the chorizo is cooking, prepare the chowder. In a separate saucepan, combine the condensed cream of chicken soup, milk (or cream for extra richness—go on, treat yourself!), and corn. Heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Don't let it boil!
- Once the chorizo is cooked, stir it into the chowder mixture. Season with salt, pepper, and a dash of your favorite hot sauce. I like to add a pinch of smoked paprika for an extra layer of flavor. Mmm, smoky!
- Spread the tortilla chips evenly over the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there's enough space between the chips so they bake evenly. Nobody likes a clump of soggy and crispy chips.
- Pour the chowder and chorizo mixture over the tortilla chips, spreading it evenly. Make sure every chip gets a little love. A generous and even coverage is key here.
- Grate the cheddar cheese and sprinkle it generously over the chowder-covered chips. Don't be shy with the cheese! More cheese equals more happiness, in my book.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the nachos are heated through. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning!
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with your favorite toppings such as chopped green onions, sour cream, or a dollop of guacamole. I also like adding a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the cheesy, savory, and utterly delicious Championship Chowder Chorizo Cheddar Nachos! These nachos are best enjoyed with friends and family – sharing is caring, after all!
📝 Notes
- For a spicier kick, use a hotter chorizo or add extra hot sauce.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese.
- If you don't have condensed cream of chicken soup, you can use cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup instead.
