MICROWAVE NACHOS FOR ONE RECIPE

Microwave Nachos for One Recipe image

The microwave is a highly underrated tool for nacho construction. Contrary to popular opinion, the microwave will not make chips soggy and is excellent at melting cheese efficiently.

Time 6m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

For the Nachos:
2 to 4 ounces tortilla chips (any kind)
1 to 3 cups cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican cheese blend, shredded)
1/4 cup pickled jalapeño peppers, optional
For the Toppings:
Sour cream
Fresh salsa (homemade)
Black olives, sliced
Fresh chopped tomatoes
Guacamole

Steps:

Gather the ingredients.
Spread the tortilla chips in an even layer on a microwave-safe plate. ( Important : Never use a metal sheet pan or metal dish of any kind in the microwave.) There are no set quantities of these nachos. The important thing is to spread the tortilla chips in an even layer on the plate, with just a little overlap. If you stuff the plate with too many tortilla chips, you won't be able to cover them all with the cheese.
Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the chips.
Top with the jalapeño slices, if desired.
Heat on high for 1 minute, just until the cheese is melted. Be sure to watch the nachos as they cook. Microwave ovens vary dramatically, and so your cooking time will also vary. Let the nachos stand for a few minutes to finish cooking.
Serve immediately with sour cream, homemade pico de gallo , sliced black olives, chopped fresh tomatoes, and/or guacamole . Enjoy.
