For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dollop of sour cream, guacamole, or your favorite hot sauce. Feel free to customize the salad with additional toppings such as black olives, bell peppers, or a sprinkle of cilantro. To prevent the chips from getting soggy, serve immediately after assembling. Alternatively, keep the components separate and allow guests to build their own salads. For a spicier kick, use a hot salsa or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the bean mixture. To make this dish vegan, substitute the Cheddar cheese with a plant-based alternative.
