Nachos made at home are the ultimate in movie night or game day indulgences. A few steps can ensure that you make the world's BEST nachos. First, LAYER! This way every chip gets the cheesy, sour creamy, spicy love. Second, add two kinds of cheese! I use my signature blender queso for the perfect stay-creamy sauce, as well as the melty power of mozzarella. Feel free to mix it up with the cheese you prefer.
Things You’ll Need
-
1 (13 oz) bag of tortilla chips
-
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 (120 oz) can evaporated milk (NOT sweetened condensed milk)

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon salt
-
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup sliced black olives

Step 1: Make the Queso
Add the cheese, evaporated milk, cornstarch and salt to a blender. Blend on high until well combined, about 3 minutes.

Bake at 400°F for 10 minute or until the cheese has melted.
