Notes
✔️ Crispy Chip Hack: Toast tortilla chips in the oven for 5 minutes before adding toppings to prevent sogginess.
✔️ Healthier Option: Use baked tortilla chips, swap Greek yogurt for sour cream, and add extra veggies like bell peppers.
✔️ Make It Spicy: Add chorizo, extra jalapeños, or hot sauce for a Tex-Mex kick.
✔️ Storage & Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes to keep them crispy.
