Frequently Asked Questions
How many tacos per person when also serving nachos?
With nachos as an appetizer, plan for 2-3 tacos per person instead of the usual 3-4. The nachos will fill some appetite.
Can I use the same toppings for both?
Yes! That's the beauty of this combo. Prep cheese, salsa, sour cream, jalapeños, and guacamole once and use for both dishes.
