Note
For best results, ensure the baking sheet is large enough to hold the chips in a single layer to prevent sogginess.
To make this recipe vegetarian, omit the ground beef and increase the amount of beans or add black beans and corn for extra substance.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain chip crunchiness, though they will soften upon reheating.
You can substitute cheddar cheese with a Mexican blend, jack cheese, or a vegan cheese alternative to suit dietary preferences.
Add sliced jalapeños or hot sauce for extra heat.
