Note

For a milder version, use mild taco seasoning or reduce the amount of seasoning mix.

You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef for a lighter option.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Note that the corn chips may lose their crunch upon reheating.

To prevent the sour cream from separating, ensure the chili is hot but not boiling when you add the sour cream topping.
