7-Layer Cinco de Mayo Nachos are a great appetizer for your next party! You can get all the ingredients for less than $10 and throw it together in minutes.
Do we have any nachos fans here? I love how easy they are for an appetizer or snack. I decided to dress up this favorite today with lots of colorful ingredients.
Old El Paso products and Avocados from Mexico were the perfect ingredients to create this dish! I was so excited to try the Bold Nacho Cheese Flavored Taco Shells.
Lately I’m all about color when it comes to my recipes. I love creating a dish that has a variety of colors. It just looks better, doesn’t it?
These nachos definitely don’t disappoint when it comes to color. In addition to the bright green avocados, I added tomatoes, cheese, sour cream and black olives.
Are you going to be celebrating Cinco de Mayo? It’s a great reason to get your friends together for a Mexican potluck. These 7-Layer Nachos are the perfect appetizer to kick off the party!
Here’s a random fact about me: I usually hate olives. I don’t eat them plain or in any recipe except 7-layer recipes like this. For some reason I love them in this recipe! Weird, right?
How to Turn These Cinco de Mayo Nachos into a Meal
Don’t judge me, but these nachos were my dinner one night! You could make it into a filling meal by adding some shredded chicken or ground beef.

Exnay the olives and I am ON BOARD! 😉 I’ll have to make these. I have been loving nachos recently.
Jenna Brussee says
You could definitely do a 6-layer version without the olives! Usually I don’t like olives either, but they are SO GOOD in these nachos.
Madaline says
All of it please! These look amazing and now I’m going to be thinking about this for the rest of the afternoon until I can make it!
