It’s time for FOOTBALL!!!!! 🏈 Are you ready for tailgating? Do you have your house party game plan for food ready? Cook this recipe to score a touchdown with your guests!
Shredded delicious cheese melts into a bubbly blanket over the touchdown tortillas, while crumbly queso performs coverage on the veggies with a salty kickoff. It's a perfectly played dish for coffee tables and tailgates! You won’t be penalized if you keep it all on the baking pan and serve it as a shared platter. With the way this will smell while cooking, your guests will try to intercept you before it even takes a hike from the kitchen! Pass me the nachos!

8 (6-inch) corn tortillas, cut into wedges

How to Make It

Chef's Notes
I’d add a pound of ground prime burger from Dennis Farms to this recipe. Simply brown it in a skillet, adding a packet of taco seasoning (follow directions on packet), stirring frequently, until cooked thoroughly. Drain. Add cooked meat atop wedges, between steps 3 & 4.
