Layering is the secret weapon for nachos that don’t turn into a soggy mess. I always start with a single layer of sturdy tortilla chips on a baking sheet, then sprinkle on shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack. Next comes black beans, jalapeños, and chopped red onions. I bake it all at 400°F until the cheese bubbles. Only after baking do I add fresh toppings—diced tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Sometimes I’ll toss on leftover grilled chicken or ground beef if it’s around. The trick is keeping wet ingredients off until the end, and never piling chips too high. That way, every chip gets its fair share of toppings and crunch. #nachos #cheesynachos #snackideas #Food #Cooking
