Be prepared to order your Nachos BellGrande this way from now on. You’ll wonder how you ever went this long without knowing this hack. Fans online swear it’s the best way to prevent soggy nachos. All you have to do is order the nachos and cheese separately so you can dip as you go. Think of it like cereal. Leave it sitting in milk too long, and it turns soggy. Nobody wants that.
The Nachos BellGrande is one of Taco Bell’s most popular items, piled high with chips, beef, beans, and melted cheese. But as tasty as it is, the cheese often turns those chips mushy before you’ve made it halfway through the tray. That’s why this simple trick is a lifesaver.
@mandy_faith Saw someone do this the other day and had to try it. No more soggy chips!! It did not disappoint. #tacobell
What Are Taco Bell’s Nachos BellGrande?
The chain’s Nachos BellGrande is a classic. You get crunchy tortilla chips topped with savory beef, beans, sour cream, and plenty of salty, melted cheese. It’s the perfect order when you’re craving Mexican-inspired fast food and maybe want to share with friends. The only problem? That melted cheese turns those chips soggy fast. Unless you inhale your nachos, they can go from crispy to limp in minutes.
Another common issue at Taco Bell is uneven topping distribution. Some chips end up drowning in cheese while others are completely bare, which makes the whole order feel hit or miss. With this hack, you don’t need a fork, and you get to decide exactly how much cheese goes on each chip. Sometimes the simplest hacks make the biggest difference.
How to Order This Hack
The fix is simple. Just ask for the toppings and cheese in separate containers. Most workers will understand what you mean, and you can even explain that you’re trying to keep the chips from getting soggy.
Just make sure you specify that you want all the toppings in one container and the cheese in another. Some customers have found that workers will put each topping in its own little cup. It’s probably best to order in person rather than on the app.
In some cases, you might even score a little extra in toppings since everything has to be portioned out separately. With everything served on the side, you’ve basically got a nacho kit. Dip, crunch, repeat.
