4. Serve garnished with broken tortilla chips and other toppings such as Monterey Jack cheese, avocado, cilantro, and lime. (Some people have been known to put sour cream on this as well, it is really up to you! I suggest putting these garnishes in little bowls and having people deck out their own bowls.)
