About Texas Roadhouse Texas Nachos
Texas Nachos stack the starters list's greatest hits on one platter: tortilla chips loaded with the Texas Red Chili, warm queso, jalapeños and pico for $9.49. It is the chili and the queso joining forces, which regulars were already engineering by hand before the menu made it official.
As the most structurally complete starter, it feeds three or four across the awkward pre-rolls window and pairs with everything from margaritas to sweet tea. Fork-and-knife eaters and chip-crane operators both find their technique respected here.
How to Make Texas Roadhouse Texas Nachos at Home
Chili plus queso over sturdy chips, layered rather than piled, so the bottom chip finishes the game alive.
Ingredients
4 servings
Nachos
- 1 bag thick tortilla chips
- 2 cups beef chili, warmed
- 1½ cups queso, warmed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar
- ½ cup pickled jalapeño slices
- 1 cup pico de gallo
- ½ cup sour cream
Instructions
0 of 3 steps
- 1Layer half the chips on an oven platter, then half the chili, queso and cheddar. Repeat. · 6 minTip: Two layers is the law. Toppings only on top means naked chips below.
- 2Bake at 400°F for 6 to 8 minutes until the cheddar melts through the stack. · 8 min
- 3Finish with jalapeños, pico and sour cream. Serve on the pan. · 2 min
Pro Tips
- Restaurant-thick chips or bust; thin chips collapse under chili.
- Warm both sauces before layering or the bake dries the top.
- Serve within five minutes; nachos wait for no one.
Variations
Pulled Pork Nachos
Swap chili for warmed BBQ pulled pork and drizzle with extra BBQ sauce.
Veggie Nachos
Black beans and corn instead of chili, same queso blanket.
Serving Ideas
- Game-day centerpiece with everything else orbiting it.
- Add a fried egg on top and call it brunch nachos.
- Individual skillet portions prevent all disputes.
