Ingredients
1 bag sturdy tortilla chips
1 cup shredded cheddar (or Monterey Jack)
1 cup cooked protein (beef, chicken, beans, or chili)
1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
1/4 cup chopped red onion
Cilantro, sour cream, avocado for topping
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a sheet pan with foil.
2. Create a single layer of tortilla chips.
3. Sprinkle half the cheese evenly over the chips.
4. Add your cooked protein and chopped vegetables.

Add moisture-heavy ingredients like salsa or tomatoes only after baking.
Customize with global flavors or dietary alternatives like jackfruit or plant-based cheese.
