Spread a layer of Fritos on the bottom of a baking dish to create the base

[{"selector":"#anim-daaee035-b14b-4409-acd5-22085c3338e5","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a6df2865-47b8-4678-bb18-2971d92c7580","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5aac29b4-4298-4c07-b897-4ab9d5e1df10 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-7.812499744007886%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Spoon chili evenly over the Fritos, covering them completely

[{"selector":"#anim-5cc9ebad-df4a-4853-8de4-48fba974fb5a","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-4338c2cb-dc6c-4116-a4b0-f2211fae099f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-3.552713678800501e-15%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on top of the chili

[{"selector":"#anim-7cc0b491-93b7-4b1d-a8cd-1b62f342753a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7aca3bc3-4a90-4ca1-8504-cc001bcf3b71","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cf9d5455-bf3c-4424-9756-840389a74e0a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-24.157733380709274%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Add another layer of Fritos on top of the cheese

[{"selector":"#anim-afb349d1-420e-418e-a624-5d1b3038f95f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-28cbe1db-bb4d-4b62-b107-c038780d79e7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 227.60235%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c1e75a3b-1375-4e3a-9540-f7e223a91bea [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-21.874999829338588%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Repeat the layers until your baking dish is filled, ending with a layer of cheese on top

[{"selector":"#anim-bcf494aa-84ab-4287-a25a-4bdba2b44f85","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f4b8d00c-af21-496b-9146-5da09daa1c1e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -522.57771%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1cb2a9fa-2fb5-462c-b5ea-c4272a765be0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(7.812499744007886%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Bake in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly

Let it cool slightly before serving to allow the layers to set
