The Twelve Layers of Nachos: A Christmas Feast That Stacks Up

Forget partridges, pear trees, and all those drummers drumming—this Christmas, we’re stacking holiday cheer in nacho form. Introducing: The Twelve Layers of Nachos, a towering masterpiece that turns carols into cravings and solves the age-old question of what to do with leftover ham.

Here’s how to build it:

1. First Layer: A foundation of crispy tortilla chips. Strong, dependable, and ready for greatness.
2. Second Layer: Melted cheese. Be generous—it’s Christmas, not a diet plan.
3. Third Layer: More chips, because you can’t build a tower with a single layer.
4. Fourth Layer: Another helping of cheese. Yes, this is excessive. No, we’re not apologizing.
5. Fifth Layer: Guacamole. Green and glorious, this is the tree topper of nachos.
6. Sixth Layer: Salsa. A splash of red for that festive flair (and flavor).
7. Seventh Layer: Sour cream snow drifts. Spread it like frosting—it’s basically dessert at this point.
8. Eighth Layer: Holiday ham. Diced, savory, and wondering how it ended up on nachos.
9. Ninth Layer: Cranberries. Because if fruit can invade stuffing, it can definitely crash the nacho party.
10. Tenth Layer: Pickled jalapeños. A spicy Christmas miracle.
11. Eleventh Layer: Shredded lettuce. The polite gesture toward health that no one asked for.
12. Twelfth Layer: A grand finale of caramelized onions, candied pecans, and a final drizzle of cheese. It started with cheese, and it ends with cheese—just like all good Christmas stories.

This is the kind of nacho platter that would make Santa skip the cookies and milk entirely. It’s tall, indulgent, and a little ridiculous—just like the holidays. So grab your favorite toppings, a sturdy tray, and your loosest pair of sweatpants. It’s time to carol your way to nacho nirvana.
