1
Cook the Protein
If using ground beef, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. If using chicken, shred it if cooked or sauté in a skillet until fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2
Prepare the Cheese
In a bowl, combine the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Mix well and set aside.

3
Layer the Chips
On a large baking sheet, spread out the tortilla chips in an even layer.
4
Add the Cheese
Sprinkle the cheese mixture generously over the tortilla chips, ensuring even coverage.
5
Add the Protein
Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef or shredded chicken over the cheese-covered chips.
6
Add Jalapeños
Sprinkle the sliced jalapeños over the top for added spice.

7
Bake the Nachos
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8
Garnish and Serve
Remove nachos from the oven and let them cool slightly. Top with optional toppings like sour cream, salsa, and chopped green onions before serving.
