Notes

Make sure to use thick tortilla chips so it holds everything together. Avoid thin or restaurant style chips. I love using Mexican cheese or shredded pepper jack cheese. I used Taco Bell's Fire sauce. For Jain version, skip onions and use Taco Bell's mild sauce. I also have a Jain taco seasoning recipe on my blog.
