Happy National Nachos Day, friends! Today is my favorite food-related holiday of the year, because nachos are the greatest food on Planet Earth. Don't try to fight me on it.

I think the key to great nachos is a good topping-to-chip ratio. You don't want too much on them, because then the chips on the bottom get all soggy. That being said, you don't want too little on them, either, because there's nothing worse than being left with a bunch of dry chips. But, the most important part of nachos is ALWAYS the cheese. The type of cheese on your nachos can make or break the entire dish. I prefer liquid cheese on mine, but I also enjoy a mixture of liquid and shredded.
