Notes
I make this in advance of dinner or to take to potlucks, keeping all ingredients separate. When it is time to serve assemble as above and serve.
There is no reason that you couldn't add black beans to this, rinsed and drained. Or that you couldn't substitute the nacho chips for corn chips if that is your fancy.
Last time I used a combination of sweet onions and green onions.
If you're really ambitious, you could serve this in a fried tortilla shell bowl!
