I went crazy with the nachos/frachos take and decided to mash up the two for this Fully Loaded Doritos® Blaze® Nacho recipe. I couldn’t decide which way to go—straight up nachos or French fry nacho. I mean indecision is the mother of all invention, right?
No—I know—that’s not how the saying goes, but it is in this instance. And it’s the most wonderful kind of nacho.
The kind of nachos that will make you an NBA Finals hero. At least that’s what I’m betting on. For as long as my little guys have been able to sit and watch a game, Matt and I have been doing Game Day Eats battle where we pick a theme, create a recipe and they choose a winner.
What started out as something simple and fun has turned into a toe-to-toe match up with serious strategizing, trash talking, and punishment for the loser. It’s a serious affair in our house.
This week’s theme: Nachos.
Naturally, I went with something that could crossover as a meal too, because–I know my audience—my boys would never turn down nachos for dinner. That being said, between the layers of Doritos® Blaze® chips and waffle cut fries are: chopped grilled chicken, hot queso dip, avocado, radishes, cilantro, green onions and dustings of Cojita cheese.
The way I see it, nearly all the basic food groups are represented so this is a legit dinner. And if all goes as planned it will also be week’s winner of Game Day Eats.
A few notes:
- This recipe is highly adaptable and flexible, so sub and swap out the toppings to your preference, but make sure to keep theDoritos® Blaze® tortilla chips for that fiery heat and built-in flavor building and the waffle cut for added starch and structure.
- Serve this with a side of sour cream if you aren’t certain of everyone’s heat tolerance. It will help to temper the heat much better than a glass of water or soda.

Doritos are an obsession of mine. I have ALWAYS loved them and even to this day I have to be careful about having them around my house, as I can go through a Family Sized bag as quick as lightning. I am going to have to give this recipe a try.
