Tips for Perfect Loaded Nachos:
●    Layering is Key: To ensure every bite is packed with flavor, layer chips and toppings in multiple layers instead of piling everything on top.
●    Crispy Chips: Avoid soggy nachos by baking the chips for a few minutes before adding toppings.
●    Customize to Taste: Add toppings like pickled red onions, cotija cheese, or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor.
These loaded nachos are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, making every game-day gathering a winning experience!
