How to Build Your Own Nacho Bar

October 14, 2024

People come for the game, but let's be honest, the snacks are the real MVPs! To make your party a homerun, why not go big? Make your watch party for baseball’s championship games one to remember with the ultimate nacho bar experience. Get ready to impress your guests with a spread that's as thrilling as the final innings.

 

The Ultimate Nachos for Your Party

When it comes to crowd-pleasing nachos, the more delicious toppings the better. With crisp, perfectly salted tortilla chips as the base, make sure to serve up nacho ingredients that check off every flavor category—we’re talking savory, fresh, spicy, creamy, herby, the works.

 

Nacho Ingredients at Our Nacho Bar

Ready to serve up the ultimate nacho? Less ready to handle all the prep work? Leave the cooking to us when you order your very own nacho bar from our catering menu, perfect for serving 8-10 people. Here’s the nacho ingredients included with our nacho bar: 

  • Tortilla chips 
  • Creamy queso blanco 
  • Cheddar Jack cheese 
  • Spicy jalapeños 
  • Diced fresh tomatoes 
  • Crisp lettuce 
  • Sour cream or bleu cheese dip 
  • Option to make it loaded with grilled buffalo chicken 

 

How to Keep Your Nacho Bar Fresh All Game Long

Now that you know you can set up a delicious nacho bar party snack box with a little help from Wings and Rings, you may be wondering how to put it together for everyone to enjoy. Here are some practical tips to help you manage your setup, maintain the temperature of your ingredients, and make cleanup easy:  

  • Keep it hot: Some toppings, like queso and any proteins, may need an assist to stay warm for the whole game. You can: 
  • Transfer queso and grilled chicken into warming trays 
  • Use a small slow cooker to keep the queso melted and warm 
  • Serve chicken in a foil tray, which can be warmed in an oven at 200 to 250 F. If you plan to hold food longer than 15 to 20 minutes in the oven, make sure it is at least 140 F when you serve. 
  • Divide toppings: Use several small bowls for toppings to maintain freshness (already included when you order our nacho bar). 
  • Separate utensils: Provide individual serving utensils for each topping to avoid flavor mixing and to make it easier for multiple people to build their nachos at the same time. 
  • Organize cleanup: Set up a designated trash area and have plenty of napkins available for easy cleanup.
