Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
Heat a pot filled halfway with oil to 360°. Fry tortillas in several batches until golden, about 1 minute per batch. Transfer chips to prepared baking sheet; season with salt.
Cook bacon in a sauté pan until crisp; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Purée mayonnaise, ranch seasoning, and 10 tomatoes in a food processor; transfer to a squeeze bottle.
Assemble nachos by placing half the chips on a baking sheet; top with some tomato-ranch mayonnaise and half of each bacon and cheese. Bake nachos until cheese melts, 3 minutes; top with remaining chips, some mayonnaise, and remaining bacon and cheese. Bake nachos until remaining cheese melts and is bubbly, 3 minutes.
Garnish nachos with lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and additional mayonnaise.
For crispy chips that hold up when baked, be sure to fry the tortilla wedges until golden.
To ensure the inner layers of cheese get melted, bake each layer before building the next one.
