Note

For best results, ensure the cheese sauce is hot but not boiling when poured to keep the chips slightly crisp.

You can substitute the canned cheddar soup with a homemade cheese sauce made from cheddar cheese and milk if you prefer a less processed option.

Add cooked ground beef or black beans to make these nachos a more substantial main course.

Serve immediately to prevent the chips from becoming soggy.
