Ingredients
For 4 portions
- 200g tortilla chips, plain
- 150g cheddar cheese
- 80g lettuce
- 2 medium tomato
- 40g black olives
- 2 medium canned jalapeno peppers
- 6 Tbsp salsa
- 4 Tbsp sour cream
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
- Spread the tortilla chips in a single layer on a large baking tray (use two trays if needed so they are not piled too deep).
- Scatter the grated cheddar evenly over the chips.
- Bake for 5–8 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and just starting to bubble at the edges. Watch carefully so the chips do not burn.
- Meanwhile, shred the lettuce, dice the tomatoes and slice the black olives and jalapeños.
- Remove the chips from the oven and immediately top with lettuce, tomato, olives, jalapeños, salsa and dollops of sour cream. Serve straight away while the chips are still crisp.
