The pretzel nacho love continues! After sharing this yummy sweet version of pretzel nachos, it only seemed right to follow it up with a savory classic — Loaded Cheesy Pretzel Nachos.
These are basically all of the goodness of loaded baked nachos, with tons of ooey gooey melted cheese, tomatoes (or salsa), avocados, onions, fresh cilantro, and whatever other favorite toppings you might want to throw in. But instead of making them with tortilla chips, try subbing in these Pretzel Crisps instead. I absolutely loved how they came together!
I mean, it shouldn’t come as such a surprise to me. I have always been a fan of anything pretzel-ish dipped in cheese. But I loved how well the pretzels paired with all of the other ingredients. And true to their name, they stayed crispy and were the perfect dippers for all of the nacho-y goodness.
So for your next game day, or just whenever you might be craving nachos, give these loaded cheesy pretzel nachos a try and give your friends a fun surprise when they go in for a bite!
Loaded Cheesy Pretzel Nachos
Ingredients
- 1 bag Original Pretzel Crisps
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1 avocado, pitted and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup chopped red onion
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 limes, for garnish
- (optional additional toppings: beans (black, pinto, or refried), sour cream, shredded lettuce, salsa, black olives, or whatever else you might like on your nachos)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, combine Pretzel Crisps, 2 cups shredded cheese, and tomatoes. Gently toss to combine.
- Place mixture in a baking dish, giving ingredients a light toss so that they do not lay flat. Then sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup shredded cheese. Bake for about 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Remove from oven, then immediately sprinkle with remaining ingredients.
- Serve warm, garnished with limes.

What a fun idea– I like pretzels WAY better than corn chips!
Oh my goodness girl. Want this now.
Love, love, LOVE this! I could seriously snack on this all day!
I love Pretzel Crisps. This is such an interesting way to use them! It looks so Springy and fresh, too. Yum!
So clever to use the pretzel chips, my boys would love it!
Ali, this dish looks so colorful and delicious with all those pretty veggies!!! I’m sure the cheese takes this over the top of yumminess!!! xoxo
Love, love, love this! Such a great idea and I love how colorful this is!
Holy crap! I am so excited about these! I think I’m going to whip up my own variation that will fit the Weight Watchers points system (although these probably aren’t that bad as is). I think maybe I’ll use reduced fat Mexican cheese, half the avocado, and make the whole thing in a single serving size. If I do, I’ll be sure to link you to it! Thanks for the great recipe!
Super great idea! Why should tortilla chips get all the fun?
Yes please, this looks amazing!! Love the addition of avocado :)
