Recipe - quantities
Please note that I have not put any quantities in the recipe - it can therefore be made for any number of people. The amount of fries, chilli and toppings each person will choose can vary dramatically, so it is up to you!
Adding cheese?
If you want to add cheese, I recommend you layer like this:
- hot fries immediately followed by cheese
- chilli
- more cheese
- Additional toppings – chopped tomatoes, chopped avocado, sour cream, chopped coriander – whatever takes your fancy
- Maybe a final sprinkle of cheese!
This way you can enjoy the cheese at different stages of melting – oh yum, yes please!!
