05 - Bake for 8–10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

01 -

Each cup delivers that perfect ratio of crispy shell to melty cheesy topping in one handheld bite
You can prep everything ahead and bake them right before guests arrive for maximum melty goodness
Everyone can customize their own toppings so picky eaters and spice lovers both get exactly what they want

02 -

Soggy toppings will ruin the crispy chip base so pat your beans and tomatoes really dry before adding them
Do not skip the cooling time because hot cheese needs a moment to set or your cups will fall apart when you try to remove them

03 -

Warm your tortilla chips in the oven for a couple minutes before forming them into cups so they become more pliable and less likely to crack
Use a mix of orange and white cheddar for the best visual appeal and flavor depth
