Ingredients
1 bag Tostitos
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup taco seasoned cheddar cheese
1/4 cup pickled jalapenos
1/4 cup sliced black olives
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup sour cream
scallions or chives, sliced for garnish

Directions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Spread a single layer of tostito chips in a 9x13 baking dish. Spread 1/2 cup of your sharp cheddar and 1/2 cup of your taco seasoned cheddar cheese over the top. Then spread another layer of tostito chips. Sprinkle your remaining cheese evenly over the top then add your pickled jalapenos and sliced olives.

Bake your nachos in the oven until the cheese is almost melted, about 10 minutes.

Remove your pan from the oven and spoon salsa over the top. Bake your nachos for an additional 2 minutes to allow the salsa to warm and your cheese to complete melting.

Remove your pan from the oven, dollop sour cream over the top, and sprinkle with chopped scallions or chives.
