Instructions
 

Prepare the Tortilla Chips:

    - Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).

      - Fry the tortilla triangles in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

        - Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips and let them drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with sea salt while still warm.

          Make the Cheese Sauce:

            - In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the grated cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and milk. Stir until melted and smooth.

              - Add the taco seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well and keep on low heat until ready to serve, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

                Prepare the Fresh Toppings:

                  - In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cherry tomatoes, avocado, black beans, corn, red onion, jalapeño, and half of the lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the fresh cilantro and mix gently.

                    Assemble the Nachos:

                      - On a large serving platter or baking sheet, layer the tortilla chips.

                        - Drizzle the warm cheese sauce generously over the chips.

                          - Spoon the fresh toppings mixture evenly over the nachos.

                            - Finish off with a sprinkle of lime juice, additional cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream and guacamole.

                              Serve:

                                - Serve immediately with salsa on the side. Enjoy your Fresh Summer Nachos Supreme while they are warm!
