For a deeper flavor, sauté the onions and bell peppers in a little olive oil before adding them to the casserole. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar or pepper jack, to customize the flavor profile. If you don't have tortilla chips, crushed crackers or breadcrumbs can be used as a substitute topping. To make ahead, assemble the casserole and store it in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
