- Don't limit yourself to these toppings! You can add others like ketchup, hot sauce, crusty bread slices, or more cheese.
- If making this for a crowd, you can serve it bar style and have everyone assemble their own.
- One of these plates is meant to serve at least two people, the way a big plate of nachos would.
- Don't worry if you aren't getting things exactly to the proportions I use. These are guidelines only and this recipe is very forgiving and flexible.
