Grilled Nachos
Updated March 26, 2019
We have been using our grill a lot this summer. We love eating out on our patio and it is nice to cook outside so we don’t have to heat up the house. Josh wanted to make nachos and I suggested we make them on the grill. We’ve been cooking everything else on the grill, so why not nachos? Josh liked the idea so we made homemade baked tortilla chips and got all of our toppings ready.
We placed the tortilla chips on a grill pan and sprinkled Monterey Jack cheese over the chips. Next, we added black beans. We added another layer of chips and added more cheese and beans. Josh took the pan out to the grill and cooked the nachos for about 5-7 minutes. It didn’t take long for the cheese to melt.
Josh brought in the pan of nachos and we added our favorite toppings. We loaded the nachos with tomatoes, cilantro, mango, jalapeno slices, avocado, and green onion. Feel free to top your nachos with whatever toppings you like. We shared a big plate of nachos out on our patio. We both loved the grilled nachos. I think these are the best nachos I have ever eaten. I loved the smoky flavor the grill added to the nachos. I also loved the fresh flavors the toppings added. Next time, I am going to make Grilled Guacamole to put on top of the nachos. And yes, there will be a next time and soon:)
If you are looking for a new way to enjoy nachos, try these Grilled Nachos. They are the best!

Such a great idea! You really can cook just about anything on the grill!
What a great idea to make them on your grill! I had never thought of that. Your nachos look absolutely delicious with those baked tortilla chips. My baked chips have never looked so good. I’ve got to go look at those more closely along with the grilled guacamole. I am intrigued! Thanks for sharing!
genius! why wouldn’t you grill nachos? i be the grill flavor was awesome and subtle and perfect, right?! ๐
We love nachos, but I have never thought to grill them. This is a great idea! I can not wait to try it.
This is such a great idea, especially for football season! While it’s still nice enough outside, we love to keep grilling. We’ll definitely be making these for game watching this fall.
Love the idea of grilling nachos!
My nachos never look that good! The grill scares me for things like pizza and nachos but I’m determined to try it at least once this summer!

This looks WONDERFUL. What a great idea – I love making baked chips, but adding that grill flavor is so much fun for summer. And adds beautiful color too.

Are you kidding? REALLY? I’m in love. I’ve just died and am currently residing in nacho heaven. We even have wings! In the shape of chips, of course.

Grilled nachos!! Wonderful. I have never done that, odd since I LIVE on the grill.
Need to try ๐
I’ve never had mango in my nachos, what a cool idea!
I’m obsessed with mango lately, so I decided to add them to the nachos. Great decision:)
Mmm I love the idea of “all-grilled” nachos. I tried grilled pizza once, and it didn’t quite work out, but maybe this would work better ๐
