08 - Finish with dollops of sour cream. Serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The seasoned beef has this perfect balance of spices that makes everything taste restaurant-quality
  • You can pile everything on one pan and let the oven do the heavy lifting
  • That moment when hot cheese meets cool sour cream is basically happiness on a chip
02 -
  • Work quickly once the nachos come out of the oven because the cheese keeps melting and the chips start losing their crisp texture the longer they sit.
  • Putting the sour cream on last and serving immediately prevents it from melting into a weird consistency and keeps that cool contrast intact.
03 -
  • Use the largest baking sheet you have so the chips are spread out in a thin layer rather than piled high, which ensures more chips get properly cheesy.
  • Serve straight from the oven to the table because that window of perfect cheese texture is fleeting and precious.
