1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Pickled onion to liking
Pickled jalapeño to liking

💪 You can do it!
Turn oven on to 400 degrees.
Line a 1/2 sheet with parchment.

🧀 Make queso:
In a saucepan on medium heat, combine 1/2 cup milk & 2 cups of shredded Mexican blend cheese. Whisk until smooth and creamy. *Add black pepper to taste*

Place ~1 pound of fresh tortilla chips onto lined baking sheet. Scatter 1/2 the meat, beans, cheese and queso. Like a lasagna, do it again with your second layer, on top of the remaining 1/2 lb of chips.

Pop it into the oven for 10-12 minutes until slightly crisp and brown around some edges.

💀 BE A CHEATER 💀
Go to your local or preferred authentic market like my favorite @vallarta.supermarkets - grab their pre-packed beans, salsa and guacamole. Get Birria or cooked meats from their hot bar!

It’s aaaaall in the layering, and customizing your fresh toppings and preferred flavors.
