Notes

  • Layers or not? We like to use layers in a cast iron skillet and make a mountain of nachos, kind of like a nacho lasagna! However, you can also bake them in one layer on a sheet pan.
  • Make them ahead. Assemble the whole dish ahead of time and refrigerate until you're ready to bake.
  • Make them later. Shred your leftover turkey and freeze it for nachos later. You can even mix the turkey with salsa before freezing.
  • Use chicken or beef. These nachos are also great for using leftover chicken or beef.
  • Reheat. Nobody wants leftovers of leftovers, but it does happen, so you can reheat these, in a 400° oven for 10 minutes, or on the stove top over medium high for 10 minutes.
