Ingredients
- 1 bag of tortilla chips
- 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup of pepper jack cheese
- 1 large tomato diced
- 1 small onion diced
- 1 jalapeño thinly sliced
- ½ cup black olives sliced
- ½ cup green onions chopped

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.

- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and pepper jack cheese over the chips.
- Add the diced tomatoes, onions, sliced jalapeños, and black olives evenly over the cheese.

Notes
- Use a mix of cheeses for the best flavor—cheddar for sharpness and pepper jack for a spicy kick.
- For extra crispy nachos, bake the tortilla chips alone for a few minutes before adding the toppings.
- Layer your chips and toppings to ensure every chip has a bit of everything.
- If you like it spicy, add extra jalapeños or even a dash of hot sauce over the top before serving.
- Always serve your nachos immediately to enjoy them while they’re most flavorful and crisp.
