Preparation Time

• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 10–12 minutes
• Total Time: 20–25 minutes

Ingredients (Serves 3–4)

For the Nachos:

• 1 large bag (8–10 oz) tortilla chips
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium tomato, diced
• ½ cup black beans or cooked chicken (optional)
• ¼ cup sliced black olives
• 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional for spice)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

For the Creamy Dressing:

• ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon paprika or chili powder
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Optional: a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick

Instructions

1. Prepare the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
2. Assemble the Nachos:
   Spread half of the tortilla chips on the tray. Sprinkle a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese, onions, tomatoes, beans or chicken, and olives. Add another layer of chips and repeat the toppings for even coverage.
3. Bake:
   Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
4. Make the Creamy Dressing:
   While the nachos bake, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
5. Finish & Serve:
   Once baked, remove the nachos and drizzle generously with the creamy dressing. Sprinkle with cilantro and jalapeño slices. Serve hot and gooey!

Tips & Variations

• Add avocado slices, guacamole, or salsa for extra flavor.
• Use nacho cheese sauce instead of shredded cheese for a smoother texture.
• For a lighter version, use air-fried tortilla chips and low-fat yogurt dressing.
