The tomatillo sauce gives everything a bright, slightly acidic flavor—a perfect match for the crunch of the chips!

Cooking Tips

1. It's fine to use store-bought baked tortilla chips for this recipe,but I often make my own. I place 8 lightly salted corn tortillas on a baking sheet and bake at 350° for 5-8 minutes. Since they are easy to burn, I check them often. Once they are hard and crunchy, I let them cool for 10 minutes before crumbling them
