Tips:

Shred the beef against the grain. This will make it more tender and easier to eat.
Use a flavorful cheese. A good melting cheese like cheddar or Monterey Jack will give your nachos a gooey, delicious topping.
Don't skimp on the toppings. The more toppings you have, the more fun your nachos will be. Some popular options include sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and jalapeños.
Serve your nachos immediately. Nachos are best when they're hot and fresh. If you let them sit for too long, they'll get soggy and lose their flavor.
