Brown 1 pound of ground chuck in a pan using a food chopper to finely chop the meat as it cooks.

Drain off the fat from the browned meat.

Add 1 cup of water and a package of chili rojo sauce to the meat.

Combine well and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.

On a baking sheet, place a single layer of tortilla chips on the bottom.

Add about 1/4 cup of the meat mixture on top of the chips.

Sprinkle cheese over the meat mixture.

Add another layer of tortilla chips, followed by another 1/4 cup of meat and cheese.

Repeat this process until you have 4 layers of chips, meat, and cheese, finishing with cheese on top.

Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 7 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Remove from the oven and serve with garnishes like guacamole, salsa, or jalapeno slices.
