1
Prepare the Ground Meat
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef or chicken and season with salt and black pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
2
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) while you prepare the nachos.

3
Layer the Chips
On a large baking sheet, spread out the tortilla chips evenly in a single layer.
4
Add the Meat
Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef or chicken over the tortilla chips.
5
Add the Cheese
Sprinkle the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the chips and meat.
6
Add Jalapeños
Scatter the sliced jalapeños over the cheese layer for added heat.

7
Bake the Nachos
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8
Garnish and Serve
Remove the nachos from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
