Cheeseburger Nachos Tips

Can you use tortilla chips instead of waffle fries to make cheeseburger nachos?

You can definitely swap out the waffle fries for tortilla chips when making cheeseburger nachos! Either buy a bag of your favorite brand, or make your own homemade tortilla chips instead.

What other toppings can you put on cheeseburger nachos?

Try loading up your cheeseburger nachos with extra toppings such as sesame seeds, sliced onions or other tasty burger garnishes.

What order should you put the toppings on cheeseburger nachos?

It's important to put your cheese on first before adding the toppings. Doing so will give the toppings a melty surface to stick to, so nothing will slide off when you're trying to eat it. Once the cheese is on, add the toppings in whatever order you'd like. Check out these cheeseburger recipes for more inspiration.
