{This post is brought to you by Old El Paso! They make the most delicious Enchilada Sauce, which is why I chose to use them in today’s post. Now let’s eat Nachos!}
Hey hi! Looking for the easiest, cheesiest nachos that are certain to create smiles all around?!?
OK, cool! I totally have you covered!!
It’s that time of year when nachos are a MUST. The weather is really starting to cool off, weeknights are busy as ever, and football season is in full swing! So you see, that can only mean one thing – NACHOS!!
Nachos are just an all around fun meal that everyone can enjoy. You can load them up with all your favorite Mexican toppings or keep them super simple. Today, I kept things simple, but still packed in the flavor. All while keeping these nachos quick and easy to make!
My family is a fan of classic enchiladas, so I took those flavors and put them onto nachos. I know, YUM! Enchilada beef and a spicy chipotle cheddar cheese sauce…it really doesn’t get any better when it comes to delicious, easy food.
You know that feeling? The feeling when you just really DO NOT feel like making dinner, but yet you’re STARVING. Yeah, that feeling.
It’s the worst right? Normally I always have food in the fridge from cooking earlier in the day. But every couple of weeks or so there comes a day when all that’s in the fridge is goat milk and loads of cheese….I can never be without either. Most likely, there’s probably some kind of chocolatey dessert around too.
Now as much as I love goat milk, cheese and chocolate I actually enjoy whole meals too. When I’m SUPER tired, if I can muster up the energy I’ll fry an egg, but sometimes the thought of wiping down the stove actually stops me from adding the egg. And I know, cleaning the stove? Really? Yeah, really. I am anal about it, dirty stoves bug the heck out of me.
My point in all this rambling??
Nachos are my go-to lazy meal. I basically throw the contents of the fridge on top of chips, add cheese, melt and devour. No one ever complains, especially when there’s meat involved. If it were up to me, I would honestly lose the meat and I’d make these nachos with enchilada sauce, veggies, cheese and salsa, but when other people are around I add beef. It’s typically quite the crowd pleaser.
Sometimes I’ll just season the beef with taco seasoning, but when I have it on hand, I always add Old El Paso Enchilada Sauce. It’s actually my little secret ingredient. I tend to sneak it into dishes to add an unexpected flavor kick!
These nachos rule! They don’t just have regular old cheddar melted all over them. NOPE, they have a chipotle cheddar cheese sauce. KILLER. The chipotle cheese sauce really sets these nachos apart.
OK, and I maybe made a little apple-pomegranate salsa too. You can use good old tomato salsa, but you know that fruit salsa always wins in my book.
I’m thinking you need these Easy Enchilada Beef Nachos as an easy Sunday night dinner, you know??

But I mean, that cheese sauce? It’s kind of everything.
This looks SO good!
Enchilada sauce is too good to only use on enchiladas. I love the idea of throwing it into a nacho salad! Pinning!
Perfect game day food, love everything about this!
Wow! These nachos! I can’t even – that cheese sauce is killing me. Can’t wait to try this Tieghan!
I just had a plate of nachos the other night… totally forgot how addictive they can be. These look absolutely decadent… would pair pretty wonderfully with a pitcher of margaritas.
These look absolutely delicious!

Could you tell me what hard cider is? Is it apple cider?
I made this for dinner last night! Crazy quick and easy and wonderfully tasty! I’m sure we’ll be making these again.
Now all I want is nachos for dinner! Love love love!
hehe! Thanks Laura! Hope you had a fun weekend!
This looks like a perfect recipe for Sunday Football. Also I’ve decided I need a converted barn now after being inspired by your new home. My fiancé and I are now searching for one.
Thanks for the inspiration and I know he will enjoy the nachos.

whooaaa, I think I’ve just been nacho-tized! Thanks Tieghan 🙂
haha! Thank you so much, Gerry! Hope you and the family had a great weekend! 🙂
Damn, girl. I haven’t even had my morning coffee yet and you’ve already got me craving nachos. That cheese sauce looks crazy good! I’ve never tried Old El Paso’s enchilada sauce before, and I’m going to have to change that asap. 🙂
hehe! Thank you so much, Kristen! Hope you had a great weekend! 🙂
This looks so yummy! I will definitely be making this soon! I’m thinking this would be perfect for Halloween night too!
OH! These would be so perfect for Halloween night!! Fun! 🙂
I don’t watch football but these would be good for watching a movie.
Thank Nancy! And yes, these are perfect for movie watching! 🙂
normally i’d be with you on leaving out the meat, but beef + enchilada sauce sounds so tasty (especially because it’s been a scrambled eggs over greens for dinner type of week). and mango salsa?? yes please!
Thank you so much, Heather! Hope you had a great weekend!
