Chef's Notes
Do not let the chili sit too long before baking, or the corn chips will lose their structural integrity and surrender to sogginess.
Pro Tip
Measure your sour cream and jalapeños with absolute reckless abandon. Your tastebuds will thank you for the extra generosity.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Distracted by your own culinary brilliance, you leave the tray in the oven for an extra five minutes and accidentally forge an industrial-grade ceramic disc of burnt cheese that could easily double as a manhole cover.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the King if this was a salad since it has green onions, and he threatened to have me thrown in the dungeon for 'culinary treason'.
The Culinary Science
Baking the assembled chips at a high 400°F briefly warms the starches in the corn while melting the lipids in the cheese, creating a barrier that slows down moisture absorption.
