Note
For best results, use fresh grated cheese rather than pre-shredded cheese, as it melts more smoothly without clumping.
Keep an eye on the nachos during the last few minutes of baking to prevent the chips from burning.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy. You can add toppings like salsa, sour cream, or guacamole after baking.
If you prefer a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper along with the other seasonings.
