Savoury Delights to Kickstart the Party
No sleepover is complete without some delicious savoury snacks to keep the energy high. Here are some simple-to-make food for a sleepover party that both kids and teens will love.
Cheesy Mexican Nachos
Mexican nachos are an absolute crowd-pleaser, guaranteeing joy with each crispy bite. With Old El Paso’s Original Cheesy Baked Nacho Kit, you can whip up a snack with minimal effort. Simply load tortilla chips with salsa (make sure to store the salsa below 5°C until use), and add plenty of shredded cheese. Bake at 180°C (350°F) until golden and bubbling.
For an extra treat, top the nachos with guacamole and dollops of sour cream. Kids can even create their own nacho platters with a variety of toppings like olives, jalapeños, or chicken.
Quick & Easy Quesadillas
Quesadillas are another easy-to-make, super customisable option that’ll have your young guests excited. Using Old El Paso’s Super Soft Flour Tortillas, you can stuff them with mouth-watering fillings like cheddar cheese, sautéed vegetables, or strips of grilled chicken. Simply toast the filled tortillas on a pan until the cheese melts and the tortillas become crispy on the outside.
Serve with salsa or guacamole as dips. Quick, fun, and oh-so-good, these Quick Griddled Quesadillas can be assembled in minutes!
Cheese & Bean Burritos
If you’re looking for something filling and fuss-free, burritos are the way to go! Make these Classic Cheese and Bean Burritos using Old El Paso Refried Beans and Super Soft Tortillas. They’re easy to roll and even easier to eat! The combination of beans, cheese, and veggies packs a nutritious punch while keeping the crowd full and satisfied.
Pro tip: Add some chopped lettuce, salsa, or even plain yoghurt to freshen it up, and you’ve got a hearty, balanced snack ready to serve!
DIY Taco Bar – Mini Soft Tacos
Set up a DIY taco bar with Old El Paso Mini Soft Flour Tortillas and let the kids mix and match their fillings! Lay out bowls of shredded chicken, sautéed veggies, cheese, and mashed avocado, so the guests can build their own tacos just the way they like them.
This interactive set-up encourages creativity and keeps picky eaters happy. The mini size is just right for little hands, and the option to customise makes it even more fun!
Sweet Treats for Late-Night Munching
After the movie marathons and pillow fights, it’s time for some sweet indulgence. These Mexican-inspired treats will add the perfect touch of sweetness without taking too much time to prepare.
Apple Empanada Mini Tacos

These treats come with a dollop of whipped cream on the side, but you can substitute it for yoghurt if you’re looking for a lighter option. Serve fresh to maintain their delicious crispness.
Baked Banana & Chocolate Chimichangas
Who could resist the gooey combination of bananas, chocolate, and soft tortillas? These Baked Banana & Chocolate Chimichangas are a sure-fire winner at any sleepover.
