Feel free to adjust the amount of taco seasoning to your preference. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the taco seasoning or use hot salsa. You can use pre-shredded cheese or shred your own for a fresher flavor. Customize the toppings to your liking! Other great additions include guacamole, pico de gallo, or a drizzle of queso. For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with cooked lentils or black beans. These nachos are best served immediately while the chips are still crispy.
