Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chips

    In a large skillet or oven, heat the tortilla chips at 350°F (175°C) until they are warm and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat the Sauce

    In a separate saucepan, warm the red or green sauce over medium heat until it starts to simmer, about 5 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Combine Chips and Sauce

    Once the chips are ready, layer them in a large serving dish. Pour the warmed sauce evenly over the chips, ensuring they are well coated.

  2. 4

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle the diced onions and crumbled queso fresco generously over the top of the sauced chips.

  3. 5

    Finish with Crema

    Drizzle Mexican crema over the entire dish to taste, adding a creamy texture and flavor.
