Notes

  • Keep nachos warm by serving them in a cast-iron skillet or on a warming tray.

  • Add sauces just before serving to prevent sogginess.

  • For vegetarian nachos, skip meat and use beans or tofu.

  • Experiment with international twists—like Mediterranean (feta, olives) or Tex-Mex (refried beans, jalapeños).
