Nachos with Homemade Tortilla Chips

These nachos are delicious, simple to make, and gluten free! I love making homemade tortilla chips because they end up having more flavor than regular store bought chips. The taco meat I used is from my Skillet Tacos recipe — highly recommended!

Ingredients:

10 Corn Tortillas
2 Cups Vegetable oil
Salt
2 Cups Mozzarella cheese
Toppings: Beans, taco meat, jalapeños, black olives, sour cream, salsa, etc)

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat up vegetable oil in a small pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Prepare a small plate with paper towels on top for drainage.

Step 2:

Cut the corn tortillas in half and then turn and cut in half again. You should now have small chip size tortillas.

Step 3:

Place the corn tortillas in the oil until golden brown. Flip to cook the other side. Remove from oil and carefully place on the prepared plate to dry. Sprinkle with a little salt.

Step 4:

Arrange your tortilla chips on a cookie sheet with edges. I like to spread them out so each chip is guaranteed to get some goodness! Add your taco meat, beans, cheese, and any other toppings you’d like to add. I also added black olives and jalapeños before baking. (NOTE: I only added beans to a small portion of it because I like beans, but my husband does not. This is a great way to ensure everyone gets what they want, but on the same tray!)
