Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Tortilla chips
- 100 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 5 pieces Jalapeño slices
- 100 grams Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 pieces Lime wedges
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Black beans (optional, rinsed and drained)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) or set your broiler to high.
Spread the tortilla chips evenly on a baking tray, ensuring they don't overlap too much.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chips, covering most of them.
If using black beans, scatter them on top of the cheese layer.
Sprinkle the chili flakes evenly over the cheese and beans for a spicy kick.
Distribute the jalapeño slices across the tray for bursts of heat and flavor.
Place the tray in the oven for 5 minutes or under the broiler for about 2–3 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Remove the tray from the oven and let it cool slightly for 1–2 minutes.
Carefully transfer the cheesy chili chips to a serving platter.
Top with dollops of sour cream and sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the dish for freshness.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for an optional zing of citrus flavor.
