Prep & Bake
1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a large rimmed baking sheet (or oven-safe platter) with foil for easy cleanup.
2. Spread tortilla chips in a single, slightly overlapping layer across the baking sheet — avoid stacking too deep so every chip gets cheese coverage.

3. In a small bowl, combine the chilli flakes, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Mix together, then scatter the spice blend evenly over the chips before adding the cheese — this ensures the spices bloom in the oven and distribute heat evenly.
4. Scatter the grated cheddar evenly over the chips, then follow with the mozzarella. The cheddar provides bold flavour and the mozzarella gives the stretchy melt.

5. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the cheese is fully melted, bubbling, and starting to turn golden at the edges. Watch closely in the last 2 minutes.
Topping & Serving
6. Remove from the oven and immediately spoon dollops of mild salsa across the nachos, distributing it evenly so every section gets some.

7. Add generous dollops of the sour cream and chives dip over the top — do not stir it in, keep them as distinct pools so guests can scoop to their preference.

8. Scatter fresh cilantro over the top and squeeze lime juice across the whole tray for a burst of brightness that cuts through the richness. Serve immediately — nachos wait for no one.
