Why You’ll Love This Recipe:

• Crispy chips loaded with smoky shredded brisket
• Melted cheddar and Monterey Jack in every bite
• Fresh tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, and cilantro on top
• Perfect for sharing — one big skillet, everyone digs in

Instructions:

1. Prepare the brisket: use cooked, smoked brisket and shred it into bite-sized pieces.
2. Build the base: spread the tortilla chips on a baking tray or cast-iron skillet, then add the shredded brisket and both cheeses.
3. Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
4. Top and serve: finish with diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeños, sour cream, BBQ sauce, and fresh cilantro. Serve hot!

Tips & Variations:

• Layer the chips, brisket, and cheese in two layers, so every chip gets toppings
• Use a cast-iron skillet for even melting and a great presentation
• Warm the brisket before building, so it heats through in the short bake
• For extra heat, add more jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce

Storage: These are best eaten fresh, as the chips soften once topped. Store leftover brisket separately in an airtight container for up to 3 days, and build fresh nachos when ready to serve.
