Ingredients

  • 8 ounces tortilla chips (about 10 cups)
  • 8 ounces Cheddar cheese (1/2 pound), shredded (about 2 cups)
  • 8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese (1/2 pound), shredded (about 2 cups)
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
  • Salsa (optional) [3]
  • Guacamole (optional) [4]
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)

Directions

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • In a 9 by 13-inch baking dish, spread half of the tortilla chips in one even layer and top with half of each cheese.
  • Repeat with another layer of chips and the remaining cheeses.
  • Bake until the cheese is melted and chips are crispy, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Using oven mitts or pot holders, remove the nachos from the oven, sprinkle with the scallions, and allow to cool slightly, about 2 minutes.
