How to Make Cherry Nachos?

Next, pull the skillet out of the oven with your oven mitt. Layer on your Original Cherry Salsa and Cherry Queso in generous amounts. Finally, top with avocado, jalapenos, and cilantro!
Can I add additional nacho toppings?
Additionally, if you have taco meat, red onions, Pico de Gallo, pickled radishes, sour cream, or corn that you want to add, go for it! The more the merrier.
This is the best queso dip I have ever had. Once it was opened it did not last long. DELICIOUS.

Tips for making Cherry Skillet Nachos
We used a medium heat taco seasoning on these loaded nachos to give them a little kick. However, feel free to use a lower sodium seasoning if you want to decrease the amount of salt in these nachos.
This recipe serves 4 people but can easily be scaled up or down to suit however many people that are being served. Please note that these skillet nachos are best enjoyed right away and not kept well in the fridge.
These skillet nachos pair perfectly with Cherry Republic’s Fizzy Cherry Lime Margarita.
