# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The difference between takeaway nachos and homemade is shocking, once you season the beef properly youll never go back
  • Everything comes together in under 30 minutes but looks like you put in way more effort
02 -
  • Work quickly once the nachos come out of the oven, the cheese hardens fast and you want those toppings to stick
  • Serve straight from the baking sheet if you want the full experience, transferring everything makes a mess and loses heat
03 -
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for the easiest cleanup ever
  • Warm your tortilla chips in the oven for 5 minutes before building if they seem stale
