Frequently Asked Questions

Q1Can I make Loaded Nachos without an oven?
Yes. You can prepare them on a stovetop using a non-stick pan with a lid. Layer the nachos, cheese, and toppings, then cover and heat on low flame until the cheese melts.
Q2Can I use regular nachos instead of peri peri flavor?
Absolutely. Regular nachos or even homemade tortilla chips work just as well. The peri peri flavor just adds a spicy twist.
Q3What’s the best cheese for Loaded Nachos?
Mozzarella gives the perfect stretch and melt, but you can also mix cheddar or processed cheese for a sharper flavor.
Q4Can I prepare them in advance?
Nachos taste best when served fresh and hot. If prepared too early, they may turn soggy. You can prep the toppings in advance, but bake just before serving.
Q5Are Loaded Nachos healthy?
They are an indulgence, but you can make them healthier by using baked nachos, adding more vegetables, and reducing the cheese quantity.
