instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). This will ensure that the cheese melts perfectly.

    2

    Spread the tortilla chips evenly on a baking sheet. You want them to have space to crisp up while baking.

    3

    In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and chili powder together. Drizzle this mixture over the tortilla chips to add that spicy flavor.

    4

    Next, grate the cheddar cheese and sprinkle it generously over the chips. Make sure every chip gets a nice layer of cheese for that gooey goodness.

    5

    Slice the jalapeños and scatter them on top of the cheese. These will add a delightful kick to your dish.

    6

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

    7

    While the chips are baking, chop the green onion finely. This will be used as a fresh garnish.

    8

    Once baked, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Serve them hot and drizzle some sour cream on top along with the chopped green onion.
