Ingredients
 

  • 1/2 large bag thick tortilla chips
  • 2 cups shredded barbacoa beef

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large cast iron skillet, layer 1/2 of the tortilla chips with 1/2 each of the cheeses, beef, onions, and peppers. Repeat with a second layer of chips, cheese, beef, and veggies, reserving a half cup of cheese for the top.
