Ingredients
  

1 bag (10 oz) tortilla chips

1 cup pepperoni slices

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup marinara sauce

1/2 cup sliced black olives

1/2 cup diced bell peppers (mix of red and green for color)

1/4 cup sliced green onions

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Fresh basil leaves for optional garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Skillet: Begin by placing a large, oven-safe skillet on the stovetop and preheating it over medium heat. This will ensure the chips warm evenly.

    Layer the Chips: Once preheated, evenly distribute the tortilla chips across the bottom of the skillet. Make sure the chips are closely packed for maximum topping coverage.

      Add the Sauce: Use a spoon to carefully ladle marinara sauce over the tortilla chips. Aim for even coverage across the chips to ensure every bite is flavorful.

        Layer the Toppings: First, sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the marinara sauce. Then, add the pepperoni slices, followed by the black olives and diced bell peppers. Finish this layer with a generous sprinkle of Italian seasoning to enhance the flavor.

          Top with Cheese: After layering the toppings, add the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese on top, creating a cheesy blanket over all the ingredients.

            Cook on the Stovetop: Let the skillet cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes. Watch for the cheese to begin melting and bubbling, which indicates it's ready for the next step.

              Broil for Crispiness: Carefully move the skillet to an oven preheated for broiling. Broil the dish for 2-3 minutes, keeping a close watch to avoid burning. The goal is to achieve a golden brown, bubbly cheese topping.

                Garnish and Serve: Once broiling is complete, use oven mitts to carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Sprinkle sliced green onions and fresh basil leaves on top for a burst of color and flavor. Serve hot straight from the skillet, allowing guests to scoop up the cheesy, saucy nacho goodness with the tortilla chips!

                    - Presentation Tips: Consider serving with a side of extra marinara sauce for dipping, and arrange the fresh basil leaves artistically around the skillet for an inviting look.
