Chef notes
Swapping tender pierogies for crunchy tortilla chips in these easy, cheesy nachos takes comfort food to the next level.
Technique tip: I like to serve these directly on the sheet pan. It's one less dish to wash after the big party and it helps keep the nachos warm.
Swap option: You can substitute ground beef, chicken, sausage or even spiced tofu crumbles for the chorizo.
