  7. Toss the meat and shredded cheese evenly. Place in oven for about 5-10 minutes or until cheese melts.

  8. Once the cheese has melted, remove and add your salad. Squeeze some sriracha all over. Feel free to add extra condiments such as sour cream, beans, guacamole, and various salsas and hot sauces. Your nachos are ready to serve!
