The ingredient measurements listed don't have to be exact - use what you have! Some additional topping ideas:

Jalapenos—if you like a kick of heat, diced, chopped, or sliced jalapenos are a must-have.
Red onions are a bit sweeter than yellow onions and pair well with BBQ sauce and smoky brisket.
Beans—black beans or pinto beans not only add protein to your nachos, but also tons of flavor! Beans can also bulk up the recipe if you don't have quite enough leftover brisket.
Corn is sweet and crunchy, perfect for nachos!
