Ingredients

  • 2 cups of Jackie's Cincinnati Style Chili warmed

  • 1/2 cup pickled jalapeño peppers
  • Hot sauce to taste

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees
  • Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Spread a layer or tortilla chips onto the sheet. Drop spoonfuls of warm chili onto the tortilla chips then top with beans and onions. Cover with an even layer of cheese.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese melts, being careful not to burn the tortilla chips.
