Ingredients
Scale
-
1 bag (10–12 oz) tortilla chips (sturdier is better)
-
1–2 cups cooked seasoned ground beef, chicken, or beans (leftovers work great)
-
1½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
-
½ cup black beans, drained and rinsed
-
½ cup corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)
-
1 small red onion, diced
-
1 small tomato, diced
-
1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
-
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup.
- Spread the tortilla chips evenly across the sheet pan. You want a nice, solid base—think single-ish layer with a little overlap.
- Sprinkle on the protein, beans, corn, diced onion, and any other “bake-safe” toppings you like (hold the fresh stuff ‘til after).
- Add the cheese—go generous here.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and finish with your favorite fresh toppings. Let everyone build their own plate (or eat straight from the pan—we don’t judge).
