Method

Preparation of Cheese Sauce

    Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Layer the Tortilla Chips

    On a large baking sheet or serving platter, spread out the tortilla chips evenly.

  3. 6

    Pour Cheese Sauce

    Drizzle the prepared cheese sauce generously over the brisket and chips.
