# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease a 10–12 cup bundt pan with nonstick spray.
02 - In a skillet over medium heat, combine the protein of choice with taco seasoning. Heat until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
03 - Layer the base of the bundt pan with a generous handful of tortilla chips, slightly overlapping. Sprinkle a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the chips.
04 - Add a layer of your cooked protein (or beans), followed by corn, tomatoes, black olives, red onion, and jalapeños.
05 - Repeat layering chips, cheese, and filling ingredients until all are used, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
06 - Press down gently to compact the layers, ensuring the bundt pan is filled evenly.
07 - Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and the top is golden brown.
08 - Let the nachos cool for 5 minutes. Carefully invert the bundt pan onto a large serving platter.
09 - Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately with sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and lime wedges on the side.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everyone gets their fair share of cheesy edges instead of fighting over the crispy corners
  • The presentation looks like you spent hours when it really takes minutes to assemble
02 -
  • The five minute rest period is nonnegotiable or your chip tower will collapse into a sad pile
  • Overfilling the pan causes overflow and smoking ovens, so resist the urge to cram in extra chips
03 -
  • Uniform chip size ensures even layers and structural integrity
  • Room temperature cheese melts more evenly than cold cheese straight from the fridge
