  • 12 tablespoon chili powder
  • 14 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 14 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 dash hot sauce
  • 12 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano (Mexican oregano is the best, but Italian works, too)
  • 12 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 12 lb Velveeta cheese, cut into small cubes (this is approximate depending on how much yummy cheesiness you want)
  • 1 cup salsa (also approximate. add enough to spice up the Velveeta)
  • sliced green onion, both white and green parts
  • sliced black olives
  • guacamole or sliced avocado
  • sour cream
  • tortilla chips (We use Mission triangle chips because they're durable)

Directions

    Brown beef in skillet with all of the spices.
  2. 2
    Adjust spice according to taste.
  3. 3
    Drain fat.

  5. 5
    Microwave, stirring occasionally, until cheese is melted.
  6. 6
    Arrange a layer, or mound, of chips on a plate, and top with meat first, then cheese (acts like glue so meat doesn't roll off the chip when it's on the way to your mouth), then toppings.
