Method

  1. Cut tortillas into triangles, brush with oil, season with salt, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 8 minutes until crispy.

  2. Make the salsa: Dice 1 tomato4 and ½ red5 onion into small cubes, mix with chopped cilantro9, lime8 juice, and salt.

  3. Arrange chips on a baking sheet, top with refried beans and shredded cheddar2, then bake for 5 minutes until the cheese melts.

  4. Spoon salsa over the top, add sliced jalapeños and diced avocado7, and serve immediately while still crisp.

Tips

Why it works
Bake chips at 200°C for 8 minutes to crisp them evenly without burning; lower heat or shorter time makes them soft.
Substitutions
Use 40g sour cream instead of refried beans for a tangy twist, or swap avocado for 30g guacamole if pre-made.
Common mistakes
Overbaking cheese turns it rubbery. Stop when it’s bubbly but not browned; check at 4 minutes.
Storing and reheating
Eat fresh; chips lose crispness after 2 hours. Reheat only salsa and beans separately if needed.
Serve with
Pair with a cold beer or iced tea for a casual gathering; serve with toothpicks for easy handling.
