Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Sprinkle the crushed tortilla chips evenly over the top of the mixture.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the tortilla chips.

Garnish with chopped green onions if desired, and serve warm.
