Ingredients

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

Optional toppings:

  • Seasoned ground beef
  • Shredded beef pork, or chicken
  • Black beans or pinto beans
  • Diced tomatoes jalapeños, or chilies
  • Corn black olives, or avocados

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with foil or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  • Spread the tortilla chips evenly across the prepared baking sheet, creating a single layer to allow for even topping distribution.
  • Take half of the shredded cheese and generously sprinkle it over the chips, ensuring an even coating. This base layer helps anchor the toppings.
  • Layer your chosen toppings over the chips and cheese. Options like seasoned ground beef, beans, tomatoes, jalapeños, or olives add a variety of textures and flavors. Adjust the amount based on your personal preferences.
  • Once the toppings are in place, sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the nachos, ensuring every bite has a cheesy finish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely and is bubbly.
  • Serve the nachos warm, accompanied by classic sides like guacamole, sour cream, or salsa for dipping. These add a refreshing and creamy contrast to the savory nachos.
