Instructions

1.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Drain off any excess grease.
3.

Spread the tortilla chips in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
7.
Spoon the chili evenly over the tortilla chips.
8.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the chili-covered chips.
9.

Chef's Tips

For a spicier chili, add more cayenne pepper or a pinch of red pepper flakes.

To save time, use pre-made chili or canned chili.

Customize the toppings to your liking! Consider adding pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, or cotija cheese.
