You can add extra cheese or tomato paste to the meat according to your liking. Other variations can also make use of corn or garlic.
Serve these meaty nachos with sour cream, tomato salsa, or guacamole.
You can serve the toppings separately to allow different choices and combinations for your friends and family to try according to their preference.
Although fried nachos might not be the healthiest snacking option, these meaty nachos can be made healthier if you consider baking the nachos. Some of your personalized touches such as adding beans can also improve the health benefits of this dish, as beans are rich in protein and fiber. Add your favorite vegetables to further help add some healthy touches. Meat is also essential in a balanced diet and so can help provide important vitamins and minerals.
