What’s for a Dinner – Restaurant Style Nachos

I love, love, love nachos!  So as I was hunting down something yummy this week, I'm so glad I remembered these!  These are easy and yummy, and would be a great appetizer along with some grilled garlic chicken this week, or have nachos for dinner (that's what we'll be doing this week!)     Here's what you'll need . . .
