Recipe Q&A

What is the best cheese combination for this dish?

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

Can I make this dish vegan-friendly?

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.

What are some good side options to serve with this snack?

Pair with a light Mexican beer, classic Margarita, or fresh lime wedges to enhance the vibrant flavors.

How can I customize the toppings?

Add sliced radishes or pickled onions after baking for extra crunch and tang or adjust jalapeño slices for desired heat.

Is it necessary to use parchment paper for baking?

Parchment paper helps with easy cleanup and prevents sticking, but greasing the baking sheet lightly can suffice if unavailable.
