Notes

  1. Use sturdy tortilla chips to prevent them from getting soggy under the toppings.
  2. Feel free to swap cheddar for Monterey Jack or a Mexican cheese blend for extra flavor.
  3. Add the avocado and cilantro after baking to keep them fresh and vibrant.
  4. Serve immediately for the best crunch, and reheat leftovers in the oven to crisp them back up.
