Tips to Make Viral Sheet Pan Nachos

• Make sure to drain the Rotel tomatoes well; excess moisture can make the nachos soggy.

FAQs

1. Can I prepare the nachos ahead of time?
You can prepare the ingredients ahead and assemble the nachos right before baking. This will save time and keep the chips from getting soggy.

2. What can I use instead of Tostitos scoops?
If you can’t find Tostitos scoops, any tortilla chips will work. Just break them into pieces for easy serving.

3. How can I add more spice to the nachos?
To make them spicier, use spicy taco seasoning or add jalapeños on top before baking. You can also serve them with hot sauce on the side.
