Note

For a spicier kick, use hot Italian sausage instead of mild.

You can substitute black beans for refried beans if preferred; rinse and drain the canned beans first.

Serve immediately while the chips are still crunchy. Letting them sit too long will cause the chips to become soggy.

Garnish with fresh cilantro and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
