Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Tortilla chips
- 150 grams Shredded cheese (cheddar or a cheese blend)
- 2 tablespoons Jalapeños (optional)
- 4 tablespoons Salsa (optional, for serving)
- 4 tablespoons Guacamole (optional, for serving)
- 4 tablespoons Sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Spread a single layer of tortilla chips on a microwave-safe plate or dish.
Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheese over the tortilla chips, ensuring most chips get some cheese.
If desired, add sliced jalapeños on top of the cheese for a spicy kick.
Place the plate in the microwave and heat on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted. Check after 1 minute to avoid overcooking.
Carefully remove the plate from the microwave (it will be hot) and let it cool for a minute.
Serve immediately with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream on the side for dipping, if desired.
