Quick Microwave Nachos

A fast kid-friendly nacho snack made with tortilla chips, beans, cheese, and favorite toppings.

Easy nachos with cheese beans salsa and toppings

Ingredients

  • Tortilla chips
  • Refried beans or black beans
  • Cooked ground beef, turkey, chicken, or beans
  • Cheddar cheese or Mexican blend cheese
  • Chopped tomatoes or salsa
  • Sliced olives
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, optional
  • Avocado or guacamole, optional

Directions

  1. Place tortilla chips on a microwave-safe plate.
  2. Spoon small amounts of beans over the chips.
  3. Add cooked meat or extra beans, if using.
  4. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top.
  5. Microwave for 30 to 60 seconds, or until the cheese melts.
  6. Carefully remove the plate from the microwave. It may be hot.
  7. Add tomatoes, salsa, lettuce, olives, sour cream, avocado, or other toppings after heating.
Kid-Friendly Tip: Let kids build their own nacho plate before an adult heats it. Keep wet toppings like salsa, lettuce, and sour cream for after the cheese melts so the chips stay crisp.
