Notes

  • Layering the chips and toppings ensures every bite is packed with flavor.
  • Freshly grated cheese melts more smoothly than pre-shredded varieties.
  • Add sour cream, guacamole, and salsa just before serving to keep the chips crispy.
  • Leftover seasoned beef is perfect for tacos, burritos, or taco salads.
