                                                you can also put on onions,bacon, or dip it in salsa.

get out a pan and put parchment paper on the pan . now put as many nachos as you want on the pan , then shred cheese and put cheese on the nachos  and/or any other toppings. put pan in oven at 375 until cheese melts
