Notes

    • Customize Your Toppings. Add ingredients like diced bell peppers, fresh corn, or sliced avocado for more variety. Use this recipe as a blueprint and make it your own!

    • Shred Fresh Cheese. Shred your own cheese for better melting. Pre-shredded cheese is coated in cellulose which prevents it from clumping but also prevents it from melting. Freshly shredded cheese will have better flavor also.

    • Avoid Soggy Nachos. Add fresh toppings like tomatoes and avocado sauce just before serving.
