Josh makes these nachos in a cast iron skillet. If you don’t have a cast iron skillet you can use a baking sheet pan. Josh uses three kinds of cheese: Cheddar, Pepper Jack, and Queso Fresco. He layers the cheese in between tortilla chips so every chip gets a healthy dose of cheese. No chips are left behind. These nachos are extra cheesy!
