I'm with you. I don't know where Sycophant got the idea that refried beans
is a necessary component of nachos. (Never bought nachos at a sporting
event, that's for sure!) I actually prefer the simplified version with only
tortilla chips and cheese, with a big array of things you can add on at the
table. That way the guacamole and sour cream stay cold, you can go meatless
if you want, you can avoid cilantro if you hate it, and so forth.

You're right. Something like that is great to share with friends!
