# Expert advice:

01 -
  • The combination of two cheeses creates the most incredible pull and flavor depth you wont get from just one
  • Everything comes together in under 30 minutes but tastes like it came from a Tex-Mex restaurant
02 -
  • Dont skip draining the beef or your chips will get soggy before they even hit the oven
  • Layer the chips in a single layer not piled up or some will be bare while others are soggy
03 -
  • Use the thickest sturdiest chips you can find so they dont break under the weight of toppings
  • Let the beef cool slightly before layering or itll make the chips steam and get soft
