Nuggets & Fries Nachos

A mouthwatering twist on classic nachos, this dish features crispy waffle fries layered with juicy chicken nuggets, gooey melted cheese, and your favorite toppings for the ultimate comfort food experience.
Prep Time7 minutes minutes
Cook Time20 minutes minutes
Servings - 4 servings

Ingredients 

  • 22 oz. bag frozen waffle fries
  • 24 frozen chicken nuggets
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Ranch dressing drizzled over the top
  • pickled jalapenos or other chicken sandwich toppings optional garnish

Instructions

  • Cook the waffle fries and chicken nuggets as directed on the bag - in the oven or in the air fryer.
