Notes
- Ribeye provides the most authentic cheesesteak flavor
- Slice the steak thinly for maximum tenderness.
- Use sturdy tortilla chips to prevent sogginess.
- Layer the cheese evenly for the best melt.
- Bake just until the cheese melts to avoid overcooking.
- Add toppings just before serving.
- Leftovers are best reheated in the oven rather than the microwave.
- Customize the toppings to suit your preferences.
