1. Using a chef knife, carefully cut the tortillas in half, and then cut each half in half. Resulting in four equal-sized pieces.
2. Place the cut tortillas into the fryer and cook at 350º F for 30 seconds. Stir often, to ensure the chips do not stick together while cooking.

4. Lightly season the tortilla strips with four shakes of Kosher salt.
5. Place 5 oz. of fried tortilla chips in the center of a large round plate, building vertically.
6. Sprinkle the 2 oz. of grated Pepper Jack cheese all over the tortilla chips.
7. Ladle 2 oz. of cheese sauce on top of the grated cheese and tortilla chips.
8. Ladle 4 oz. of bison chili on the chips ensuring adequate coverage.
9. Top the bison chili with 2 Tbsp. of diced tomatoes. Tomatoes are cut to 3/8”.
10. Top the bison chili and diced tomatoes with 2 Tbsp. of sliced green onions.
11. Place 5 fresh 1/8” sliced jalapenos randomly on top of the sliced green onions
12. After setting for 3 minutes, place a 2 oz. dollop of sour cream directly in the center of the nachos.
