We enjoy using left overs and turning them into something new. Good way to go threw the fridge, see what you have, and what you can come up with.
Left over roast chicken roughly 2CUPS
Left over roasted veggies 2CUPS(mine were onions, celery, carrots & red cabbage)
Left over broccoli potato soup, use a cream of broccoli if you want 1-2CUPS
Cheese. 1CUP Whatever melting cheese you have in the fridge. I used grated mozza, some Bocconcini and Parmesan.

One thing I can’t stand is soggy nachos!! They aren’t suppose to be soggy. If your using olives they have to be squeezed really well of their water. Tomatoes are excellent on nachos but don’t cook them on the nachos. Throw some optop when serving! They will make the chip soggy fast. I have to make a big batch of nachos cause my family loves them. I do 3 layers. Everything on each layer. Bake in a preheated oven 425F for about 10minutes. We serve sour cream and salsa on the side. Once in a while will have some guacamole too.
I bake these in individual cast iron skillets so everyone gets to make/have their own nachos.
