Shopping List

Exactly what to grab at the store — whole units, no guessing at "half an onion."

  • 1 bag tortilla chips
  • 2 cans refried beans
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheese
  • Salsa
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Jalapeños
  • Green onions

How to Make It

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread chips on a sheet pan.
  2. Dollop refried beans over the chips, then cover with cheese.
  3. Bake 8–10 minutes until the cheese is fully melted.
  4. Top with jalapeños and green onions.
  5. Serve with salsa and sour cream on the side.

No-Time-For-That Tip: Layer the beans and cheese in two rounds instead of one — every chip gets covered, not just the top layer.
