Suggestions

  • Alternative ingredients: Swap out cheddar with Monterey Jack, or use pulled pork instead of ground beef.
  • Garnishing options: Add a squeeze of lime for that zesty touch or sprinkle some green onions for an extra crunch.
  • Cooking tips: For an extra crisp, broil the nachos for the last 1-2 minutes. Don’t go overboard with toppings; you don’t want soggy nachos!
