Super-simple but totally killer nachos! These are to die for with some guacamole, sour cream and salsa. If it's too spicy for you, just leave out the cayenne.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chips. Sturdy tortilla chips are the best base for nachos. Thin chips will break easily under the weight of the toppings.
  • Layer the toppings evenly. Don't pile all the toppings on in one spot. Spread them out evenly so that every bite has a little bit of everything.
  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh salsa, guacamole, and sour cream will make a big difference in the flavor of your nachos.
  • Don't overload the nachos. Too many toppings will make the nachos soggy and difficult to eat.
  • Serve the nachos immediately. Nachos are best when they're hot and fresh. If you're making them ahead of time, reheat them in the oven before serving.
