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.
