With the help of TikTok and Instagram, Charcuterie boards have reemerged as the new “must-have” food accessory, especially for family and social gatherings. Why not try some fun charcuterie board recipes this camping season? An easy, family favorite to try this 4th of July are charcuterie board Nachos! 

Nachos are one of our favorite food choices because you really can’t go wrong! Beef Nachos, chicken, or even vegetarian! Grab your chips, cheese, favorite protein, toppings, and voila: You have nachos! Even better? The whole family can participate in making them at your picnic table!

What You’ll Need:

• • 1 Charcuterie Board (Large should work for most families)
  • 1 bag of your favorite Chips (8-10oz) (We love to mix Doritos & Corn Tortilla Chips)
  • Your family’s favorite Protein: beef, chicken, black beans, or a mix of them all!
  • Cheese, Cheese, and More Cheese! For Charcuterie board nachos, since there is no baking involved, you’ll want to include a liquid cheese sauce. If you love cheese as much as we do, grab a bag of shredded cheese as well to sprinkle on later. 
  • Toppings: lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, corn, onions, jalapenos, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, avocados. The Nacho topping list can go on and on!

*How much you’ll need of each item will vary depending upon the size of your family. 

Instructions:

1. Warm liquid cheese sauce to near-boiling, stirring occasionally. You don’t want it too hot, or else it will begin to harden.
2. Topping Prep: Chop what must be chopped, open what must be opened.
3. While your cheese is warming, position your charcuterie board on your picnic table at a great place where everyone can dig in.
4. Crack open your chips and lay them as you please across the charcuterie board. Feeling creative? Check out this video for a cool plating design: https://pin.it/4SCSZT7

7. Remember that shredded cheese? Now’s the time! If you desire, sprinkle shredded cheese over your nacho masterpiece, and voila! It’s time to eat!
