Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 standard size bag of tortilla chips
  • 1 pound block of cheese such as cheddar, Monterrey Jack, or Colby Jack, shredded

Optional Toppings

  • Seasoned ground beef
  • Shredded beef (pork or chicken)
  • Black beans or pinto beans
  • Tomatoes (jalapenos or chilies)
  • Corn
  • Black olives
  • Avocados

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to get it ready for baking the nachos.
  2. Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or foil to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  3. Spread the chips: Evenly spread the tortilla chips across the lined baking sheet to create the base layer.
  4. Add the first layer of cheese: Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the chips to start building layers of flavor.
  5. Add toppings: Distribute your choice of toppings such as seasoned ground beef, shredded meat, beans, tomatoes, corn, olives, and avocados evenly over the cheese and chips.
  6. Top with remaining cheese: Sprinkle the rest of the shredded cheese over all the toppings to help everything bind together when melted.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted thoroughly and is bubbly.
  8. Serve warm: Remove from the oven and serve immediately with sides like guacamole, sour cream, or salsa for added flavor.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize your nachos with your favorite toppings to suit your taste preferences.
  • Use a silicone baking mat or foil to prevent the cheese from sticking to the baking sheet.
  • Keep an eye on the nachos while baking to prevent the cheese from burning.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the nachos at their best melty texture.
