Ingredients
  

1 large bag of tortilla chips

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup prosciutto, sliced into strips

1 cup salami, chopped

1/2 cup pepperoni slices

1/2 cup pickled jalapeños (adjust to your spice preference)

1/2 cup black olives, sliced

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup spicy mustard or aioli, for dipping

Fresh arugula for garnish

Optional: 1/4 cup roasted red peppers, chopped

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for the nachos.

    Layer Chips: On a large baking sheet or an oven-safe platter, spread a generous layer of tortilla chips evenly across the surface. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for optimal melting of the cheese.

      Add Cheeses: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the chips. Aim for full coverage so that every chip is deliciously cheesy.

        Top with Meats: Layer the prosciutto, salami, and pepperoni over the cheesy chips. Distribute the meats evenly to ensure a tasty bite with each chip.

          Add Veggies: Next, scatter the pickled jalapeños, sliced black olives, and quartered cherry tomatoes on top of the nachos. This not only adds flavor but also creates a vibrant, colorful presentation.

            Bake: Place the loaded nachos in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes. Watch closely until the cheese is thoroughly melted and bubbling, creating a gooey delight.

              Finish: Once your nachos are out of the oven, sprinkle freshly chopped basil and green onions over the top. This will add a fragrant and fresh note.

                Garnish: Dollop sour cream generously across the nachos for that creamy touch. Serve the spicy mustard or aioli in a small bowl on the side for dipping. If desired, sprinkle chopped roasted red peppers on top for an additional layer of flavor.

                  Serve: Present the nachos hot from the oven with a small bowl of fresh arugula on the side. This allows guests to add a crunchy, peppery touch to their meal if they choose.
