Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, you can add cooked ground beef or shredded chicken to the nachos.
• Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preferences. Sour cream, guacamole, and salsa are great options.
• If you prefer a spicier cheese sauce, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
• To make the cheese sauce ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat before serving.
• Leftover nachos can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Storage and Serving

• Serve the nachos immediately after assembling to ensure they are warm and crispy.
• You can serve the nachos as an appetizer or as a main dish with a side of salad or rice.
• Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for added freshness and flavor.
• These nachos are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat them for later.
