Doneness
The cheese is fully melted and bubbling and the chips are warm but not scorched. Watch closely — at this temperature the edges burn fast once the cheese melts.
Oil & seasoning
None — the chips and cheese have plenty of fat already.
Season with: cheese, jalapeños, salsa, cumin, cilantro.
Watch out for
- Use a foil pan or parchment so loose chips and cheese don't fall through the basket.
- Keep it to a single layer so the cheese melts evenly.
- Add cold toppings after cooking, not before.
- Watch closely — nachos go from melted to burnt in seconds.
