Gluten-Free Chips: Use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe suitable for gluten-sensitive guests.

Storage/Reheating

I recommend enjoying these nachos fresh for the best texture. If you have leftovers:

Cinnamon-Sugar Chips: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Cheesecake Dip: Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Stir before serving.

Strawberry Topping: Refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 2 days.

Reheat the chips briefly in the oven at 300°F (150°C) to restore their crispiness.
