Subway has been leaning hard on expanding footlong stuff for a footlong time now with the introductions of cookies, churros, dippers, and pretzels measuring around 12 inches. The latest to be footlong-ized by the sandwich chain is nachos.

Subway’s Doritos Footlong Nachos feature Nacho Cheese Doritos topped with cheddar cheese sauce, Monterey cheddar cheese, jalapeños, tomatoes, red onions, Baja chipotle sauce and your choice of rotisserie-style chicken or steak. I ended up getting the chicken version. It comes in a special footlong box that I kind of wish every footlong Subway sandwich came in. Did I measure the box to ensure I got footlong nachos? No, I didn’t because I was too occupied with eating what was in the box.

As I looked over my order, I noticed the amount of chicken was a bit thin, but all the other toppings were plentiful. The sandwich artist chopped the tomato slices into quarters, but they didn’t chop the red onion and jalapeño slices into smaller pieces. With the vegetables being the sizes they were, it wasn’t easy getting them all onto one chip without having to play Subway Topping Jenga. However, using the sauces and melted cheese as a glue helped.

While visually, the Doritos look like they’re being overwhelmed by the toppings, their flavor is still pronounced with every bite. The vegetables and sauces enhance the nacho cheese chips, making every messy bite satisfying. I particularly enjoyed the moments when there was a strong tomato taste. As silly as I find the concept of footlong nachos, I have to admit I actually enjoyed eating it.

None of the chips got soggy while eating it, although I did start consuming it right after receiving it. Not sure if it would survive a 10 minute ride home with all the cheese and sauces.

Also, I’m not sure if all Subway locations are doing this, but even though I ordered via the Subway app, the workers waited until I got there to toast mine and put on most of the toppings because they said they didn’t want to get the chips soggy from them. Of course, your Subway may vary.

I’m surprised by how much I enjoyed my Doritos Footlong Nachos (I’m also surprised Taco Bell didn’t come up with this first). I could see myself repurchasing it as a snack because I’m not sure it’s filling enough as a meal for most people and I think it’s too much as a side for any Subway sandwich.
