Super Nachos

These are great! I like to serve them as appetizers. They are great for things like Superbowl parties, or when guests or over. I have even made them ahead and then taken to someone else's house and popped them in oven there, and then topped them. This recipe comes from Loma-Linda's Mexican Cuisine.
