Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients
Approx. 3 cups tortilla chips
2/3 cup pizza sauce
1 small green pepper (seeded and diced)
1/2 small red onion (diced)
3 - 4 white button mushrooms (sliced)
1/4 cup black olives (sliced)
1 cup 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup 2 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup 1 ounce shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)
1/4 pound Italian sausage (browned and drained)
6 - 8 thin slices pepperoni (cut into quarters)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Lay tortilla chips in a single layer, as much as possible, on two oven-proof plates or baking sheets.
Using a spoon, evenly distribute the pizza sauce over the chips. If you prefer nachos without any semi-soggy bits, I recommend drizzling the sauce over the cheese instead.
Evenly sprinkle the toppings - green pepper, red onion, mushrooms, olives, and meat, if using - over the top of each. Divide the cheeses between the two plates, sprinkling it over the top.
Bake for about 8 - 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and nachos are heated through.
Allow to cool for a couple of minutes, then serve, taking care to avoid touching the hot plates (or better yet, transfer to a cool plate to serve).
