Add the leftover nachos back into a skillet and place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to reheat. Then, top with any remaining toppings. Make sure to remove any shredded lettuce before reheating so it isn’t soggy. If you have an air fryer, this is also a fantastic way to get crisp reheated chips.
Steak can be cooked on the grill, stovetop or in the oven. Learn an easy way on how to cook steak for nachos. We also love using leftovers from our grilled Porterhouse steak.
