Notes
- Shredding cheese - I find the best way to shred a block of cheddar cheese fast is to use your food processor. Most come with a cheese grater disc.
- Toppings - The sky is the limit when it comes to toppings for loaded nachos. Lettuce, tomatoes, diced onions, jalapeno, olives, cilantro, sour cream, salsa, guacamole are just a few of my favorites.
- Piping soft liquids - I find the easiest way to pipe on the soft liquids like sour cream and guacamole is to place in a ziplock bag. Then carefully cut a tiny little piece off the corner of the bag. This will help let you pipe ribbons of sour cream without have clumps!
- Meat - Like I mentioned above you can use any type of chili for this recipe. You could also use shredded chicken or beyond meat crumbles for a vegetarian option.
