Nuked Nachos with Salsa and Cheese



Nachos are a delicious and easy snack or meal that can be made in no time flat. This recipe is for nuked nachos, which are made by microwaving the ingredients together. This makes them a great option for busy weeknights or when you're short on time.

Ingredients:

  • 1 bag of tortilla chips

  • 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1/2 cup of salsa

  • 1/4 cup of sour cream

  • 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro

  • 1/4 cup of diced tomatoes

  • 1/4 cup of black beans

  • 1/4 cup of corn

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Spread the tortilla chips out on a microwave-safe plate.

  2. Top with the shredded cheddar cheese.

  3. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

  4. Top with the salsa, sour cream, cilantro, diced tomatoes, black beans, and corn.

  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For a spicier nacho, add a dash of hot sauce to the salsa.

  • For a more flavorful nacho, add a layer of refried beans before the shredded cheese.

  • For a healthier nacho, use whole-wheat tortilla chips and low-fat cheese.

Variations:

  • You can add any other toppings that you like, such as guacamole, shredded lettuce, or diced onions.

  • You can also use different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack.

  • If you don't have a microwave, you can make these nachos in the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the nachos for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
