Now that you've got your tortilla chips, it's time to get them ready for their close-up. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet - don't overlap them, or you'll end up with a chip catastrophe! You want each chip to be able to get its fair share of cheese and toppings.
Did you know that the concept of nachos was allegedly invented by a maître d' named Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya in the 1940s? He whipped up a batch of tortilla chips topped with cheese and jalapeños for a group of hungry American tourists, and the rest is history!
