I am fixing these on Saturday and would like to take a dip to go along with this, Any ideas or suggestions? I don't want salsa b/c I have demoed it at 2 shows already that most of the guests were at and will be at this show too.
 
Could you make up a simple dip with the southwest seasoning. 1 cup mayo, 1cup sour cream, and 2-3 T of Southwest Seasoning.
 
When I made the jerk chicken nachos, I mixed some seasoning with sour cream and put it with them like the book said and it was good...Another thing I did last night was take 1 avocado, mix it with about 1/2 container of sour cream (makes it more lime green - and less like normal guacamole) added some minced garlic and chopped cilantro. That was good with the nachos.

Good Ideas! Thanks
 
Yep - make a dip or something. They tasted really good but were somewhat dry - they need a dip or more sauce.
 
Chipotle Ranch Dip!
