Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to prepare for baking the nachos.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tortilla Chips

    Spread the tortilla chips evenly on a large baking sheet or oven-safe dish. Ensure they are in a single layer for even melting.

Layering

  1. 3

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the tortilla chips, covering as much of the chips as possible.

  2. 4

    Add Jalapeños

    Distribute the sliced jalapeños over the cheese-topped tortilla chips.

Baking

  1. 5

    Bake the Nachos

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

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Once out of the oven, remove the nachos and let them cool for a minute. Serve immediately with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on the side.
