A plate of nachos.
Image Credit: pilipphoto/iStock/Getty Images It’s easy and quick making nachos in your oven. The dry heat of your oven melts the cheese while keeping the chips crisp. Using extra-thick tortilla chips in this recipe keeps the chips from breaking when you make the nachos as well as while eating this game time or anytime snack. What will emerge from the oven is a crisp, hearty snack you can serve to your family, guests or just enjoy on your own.

Step 2
Layer the tortilla chips all over a rimmed baking sheet. You can layer the chips two layers thick since the toppings do not need to directly cover all the chips.
Step 3
Place a small saucepan over low heat on the stove top burner.

Empty the refried beans into the saucepan and cook for a few minutes until the beans are smooth enough to easily layer over the nacho chips.
Step 5
Spread the refried beans over the top layer of the chips with a spoon. Spread the refried beans as evenly as possible.
