These nachos were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my nachos turned out really soggy. I think I might have added too much sauce.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe and the nachos still turned out great. I used low-fat sour cream instead of regular sour cream and I added some chopped cilantro.
