Use fresh ingredients: Fresh kale and artichoke hearts will give your nachos the best flavor.

Don't skimp on the toppings: Load your nachos up with your favorite toppings such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and Pico de gallo.
Serve immediately: Nachos are best served immediately after they are made so that the chips stay crispy.
