Nachos, But Vertical

Who said nachos had to lie down to be delicious?

Let’s rethink the nacho. Let’s challenge the plate. Let’s stab convention in the face—gently—with a bamboo skewer. Introducing: Nacho Skewers. Nachos, but vertical. Portable. Party-optimized. Bold enough to walk off the snack table on their own and into your dreams.

Picture this: a sturdy skewer layered like a tower of flavor. First, a folded triangle chip. Then a cube of sharp cheddar. A slice of grilled chicken. A roasted jalapeño. A cherry tomato. Another chip. A pickled onion. Maybe a dollop of guac or crema piped on with the precision of a dessert chef who lost their mind in a taquería. Repeat until you’ve created an edible sculpture so beautiful it makes you weep.

Now, a word of caution: not all chips can handle the pressure. Most will shatter into edible confetti if you try to spear them straight through. The key is thicker-cut chips—or better yet, fold the chip gently and nestle it onto the skewer. No piercing. Just intelligent, respectful nacho engineering.

Each skewer is a story. A flavor journey. A handheld nacho novella. And the best part? No soggy chip bottom. No fighting over the last bite. No shame when you eat seven in a row because technically, they’re snack-sized.

Serve them chilled for clean bites at brunch. Serve them hot under a broiler for a dramatic cheese melt. Display them in mason jars or stab them into an avocado like a tribute to the gods of crunch.

Nachos were never meant to be flat. They were meant to stand tall. Stack proud. Skewer fearlessly.
