Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 1 bag tortilla chips (12 oz / 340 g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  6. Remove from oven, add desired toppings, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
  • Add beans, corn, or peppers for extra flavor and texture.
  • Use hot Rotel or jalapeños for added spice.
  • Top with sour cream, avocado, or cilantro for freshness.
  • Chips will soften slightly but still provide texture.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in oven or microwave; cover when reheating in oven.
  • Can be assembled ahead and baked later.
