Description
A delicious Spanish-style twist on classic nachos, featuring crispy potatoes layered with savory chorizo, nutty Manchego cheese, and a smoky paprika aioli drizzle, perfect for a flavorful appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
Base
- 2 cups thick potato chips or roasted potatoes
Toppings
- ½ cup cooked chorizo
- ¼ cup shredded Manchego cheese
Sauce
- 2 tbsp aioli or mayo
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
Garnish
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Arrange the thick potato chips or roasted potatoes evenly on a baking sheet, creating a single layer to ensure crispness and even topping coverage.
- Add toppings: Evenly distribute the cooked chorizo pieces over the potatoes, followed by sprinkling the shredded Manchego cheese on top to create a flavorful layer that will melt during baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and begins to bubble slightly.
- Make the aioli drizzle: While baking, mix the aioli or mayo with the smoked paprika thoroughly to create a smoky-flavored sauce that will add depth to the dish.
- Apply sauce and garnish: Remove the nachos from the oven, drizzle the paprika aioli evenly over the top, then sprinkle the chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish before serving.
Notes
- Add diced roasted peppers or olives for extra color and flavor variety.
- Serve as a fun and flavorful tapas bar appetizer to share with friends.
- For a crispier base, use roasted potatoes instead of chips if preferred.
