How to Make Bacon Onion Nachos
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (240°C).
- Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Once the bacon is cool enough to handle, coarsely chop it.
- While the bacon is cooking, sauté the sliced onions in the bacon grease until softened and lightly caramelized (about 5-7 minutes).
- Arrange tortilla chips on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Evenly distribute the cooked bacon, caramelized onions, and minced jalapeños (if using) over the chips.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the nachos.
- Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden brown.
- Serve immediately with sour cream and salsa for dipping. Enjoy!
