Easy Yummy Nachos

1 bag nacho cheese doritos - or any other chips, these are just my favorite

Sorry, no measurements here, have always done this by whatever looked good. If you come up with good measurements be sure to add them!

1. Mix together salsa and refried means.
2. Layer chips, glop on mixture, and sprinkle cheese. Repeat one more time.
3. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes till cheese is melted.

I serve with tacos.
