Chicken and Chorizo Nachos #SundaySupper

If you have been following me for any time at all, you know that Football Season is the highlight of our year. At one point, we had four football games every week. Football has been a big part of our lives and memories. And of course it wouldn’t be football season without get togethers with family and friends. There is nothing like hosting a team football party after a championship game.

After a busy weekend of our kids football games, we love tailgating at home on Sunday. This recipe for Chicken and Chorizo Nachos has become a home tailgating favorite. The best part of this recipe is that sometimes during a busy weekend, I will double or triple the batch and serve half the Chicken and Chorizo over rice, with a salad for dinner. Trust me when I tell you that this is one of those dishes that tastes even better the next day. The flavors of the garlic, chorizo and wine really come out after sitting in the fridge overnight. On game day, all you have to do is shred the chicken over the tortilla chips, add some cheese and your favorite toppings and you have a winning appetizer.

I used Gallo Family Chardonnay in this recipe but I loved pairing it with White Zinfandel and  Moscato. The combination of sweet and spicy was just perfect!  I am loving the 187mL Gallo Family wine bottles! They are ideal for game day entertaining – football fanatics can choose their favorite wines. These fun mini wines are available for $5.99/four-pack or $1.49 individually at local wine retailers and grocers nationwide.

Gallo Family Vineyards is proud to be the Official Wine of Football Season™, and their wines go the distance on the gridiron. And while your family and friends may all be rooting for the same team, they may not all love the same type of wine. With a wide array of game day finger foods, why not provide multiple options and reduce the amount of waste at the end of the party?

And don’t forget… we want you save those 187mL capsules to help end senior hunger.  For the 5^thyear, our Every Cork Counts program invites Americans to send back their corks and capsules to benefit the Meals On Wheels Association of America. Every cork or capsule collected garners $1 for Meals on Wheels, and it’s easy to donate! Visit GalloFamily.com for more details.
