1
Cook the Meat
If using ground beef, brown it in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. If using chicken, shred pre-cooked chicken or cook it in a skillet until fully cooked, then shred.

2
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
3
Layer the Chips
Spread the tortilla chips evenly on a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter.
4
Add the Meat
Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef or shredded chicken over the tortilla chips.
5
Add the Cheese
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese generously over the meat and chips.
6
Add Jalapeños
Evenly distribute the sliced jalapeños over the cheese.

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 let cool slightly. Top with sour cream, guacamole, and chopped green onions before serving.
