Tips

Layer the chips, beans and cheese in two tiers, so the chips at the bottom of the dish get some topping too.
Do not leave them in the oven for long, because the chips burn easily. In a fan oven, 6-8 minutes at 180 °C is enough.
Always add the sour cream and guacamole after baking, because they run when warm and make the chips go soft.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make them ahead?

It is not worth it, because the chips soon go soft. You can prepare the toppings, though, and layer everything just before baking.

Is this dish vegetarian?

Yes, and the beans and cheese make it substantial. For a vegan version, use plant-based cheese and plant-based sour cream.
