Asian-style nachos are the perfect spin on a classic game day recipe!
These nachos are layered with all kinds of Asian-inspired goodness. Two layers of tortilla chips are topped with a savory pork mixture and tons of cheddar cheese. A light and refreshing red cabbage slaw and dollops of sour cream are the perfect finishing touch for a nacho recipe that is sure to be a hit at your next game day party!
I promised myself that I wouldn’t post any more game day recipes until next football season. I kind of go crazy this time of year when it comes to football-themed recipes. Just when I think I have run out of recipe ideas for dips, chicken wings, and nachos, my brain gets flooded with all kind of appetizer inspiration. I can’t help it, and I’m really not sorry about it. I went on a football food rampage last week, so get ready for it.
These Asian-style nachos are just one of these so-called game day appetizers, and they were a serious hit.
I’m picky when it comes to nachos. I’ve made a few on this blog. From buffalo chicken to tex-mex, I’ve definitely been around the block a few times when it comes to nachos. These Asian-style nachos are one of my new favorite appetizer recipes. I have been known to prep twice the amount of ingredients just so I can make this recipe a couple times per week. I have also been known to eat these nachos and only these nachos for lunch. Something I’m both proud of and not proud of.
These Asian-style nachos are perfect for game day you guys. Add them to your menus ASAP and pair them with a pale ale. It will really compliment the spiciness! Enjoy!
