How much nachos per person?
Plan 75g of tortilla chips per adult for a snack, 110g if nachos are the main dish. Add 40g cheese, 60g protein, and 2-3 tablespoons of salsa, guacamole or sour cream per person.
Tips for nacho platters
Spread chips in a single layer, stack toppings in two thinner passes instead of one thick pile, and add wet toppings (sour cream, guac, salsa) at the table so chips stay crisp.
