Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in some diced jalapeños or black olives. If you prefer a lighter version, substitute the cheese with a lower-fat option or use a bean-based chili. Ensure the chips are not overly crushed to maintain some crunch. This dish can also be customized by adding cooked ground beef or turkey for extra protein.

Storage & Reheating
