Instructions
- Preheat oven
- 375°F (190°C).
- Assemble nachos
- Spread tortilla chips on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish.
- Sprinkle cheese evenly over the chips.
- Add cooked meat, black beans, and jalapeños if using.

Tips
- Layering: For extra cheesy nachos, layer chips, cheese, and toppings in 2–3 layers.
- Spice level: Adjust jalapeños or add hot sauce to taste.
- Make it vegetarian: Skip meat and add more beans, corn, or roasted veggies.
- Crispy chips: Avoid soggy nachos by adding wet toppings (sour cream, guacamole) after baking, not before.
