Chili Bake

This chili tortilla bake is a weeknight workhorse that doesn’t taste like Tuesday. It’s assembled in minutes, bakes up bubbly and golden, and feeds a hungry crowd without fuss. Leftovers reheat beautifully, and the whole thing has the just-slightly-messy comfort food appeal that turns a regular dinner into an event that everyone will look forward to.
