If possible, avoid pre shredded cheese, as it doesn’t melt well. Shred your own, ideally. Have fun with different toppings. Make sure to layer! You don’t want to get through all the toppings and be left with just nachos. You can use taco seasoning mix in a pinch. Make vegetarian by omitting the ground beef.
