🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    Prepare the toppings: wash, seed, and dice the tomatoes. Finely slice the red onion. Dice the half green bell pepper. Chop the cilantro. Slice the jalapeños into rounds.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Spread the chips on a baking sheet with parchment paper, without overlapping too much. Distribute the queso sauce over the chips.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle the grated cheddar evenly, then the mozzarella on top, focusing on the edges.

  4. 4

    Bake for 5 minutes to start melting the cheese.

  5. 5

    Remove the tray, distribute the diced tomato, onion, and pepper, as well as the jalapeño slices.

  6. 6

    Return to the oven for 3-4 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and golden.

  7. 7

    Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped cilantro and drizzle with a little lime juice. Serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks
  • Grate the cheese yourself for a smoother, more even melt.
  • Seed the tomatoes well to avoid making the chips soggy.
  • Don't overload the center of the tray for even cooking.
  • Remove the seeds from the jalapeños for a milder heat.
  • Serve with dips like guacamole, salsa, and sour cream. Perfect with a cold beer or a Margarita.
  • Variations: add seasoned ground beef, drained red beans, or diced avocado after baking.
