A blend of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses offers a creamy, melty texture with a mild, tangy flavor that complements the toppings well.

Yes, substitute plant-based cheese alternatives and use dairy-free sour cream or guacamole to keep it vegan while maintaining great flavor.
- → How can I add a protein boost?
Incorporate cooked ground beef or shredded rotisserie chicken before baking to add savory depth and extra protein.
