"no-Time-Flat" Nuked Nachos With Salsa and Cheese

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

So easy to make, only 4 ingredients... it's the super-ultimate party dish! Just a few minutes in the microwave with will make everything gooey and hot...so easy to make. This is so simple to put together and so good, and takes less than 10 minutes to throw together and heat in the microwave! You will be making this every weekend! Prep time includes microwaving time. Feel free to throw on other ingredients like onions and chopped tomatoes after cooking. Got lots of people to serve?... then make up two plates or three or four!

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
• ½-¾ cup sour cream
• ¾-1 cup salsa
• 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese (or to taste) or 1 ½ cups Mexican blend cheese (or to taste)
• 2 cups yellow corn tortilla chips (or as much as you can pile in the middle!)

Directions:

1. With a large spoon, spread out the beans in a ring on a large microwave-safe dinner plate, leaving about 4 inches in the center of the plate, (that's where you will put the pile of tortilla chips).
2. Smear the sour cream and then the salsa over the beans.
3. Sprinkle about half of the cheese over everything (as you pile on everything, make certain to leave the center of the plate empty).
4. Microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes.
5. Remove the plate from the microwave, pile the chips in the center of the plate.
6. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the chips.
7. Return the plate to the oven and microwave on HIGH for another minute or until the cheese has melted.
8. Remove carefully as the plate will be hot.
9. Serve hot.

Thanks Kittencal for posting. (I love her recipes!) This was super easy and good for a personal snack. For guests it wasn't the best. There was too much liquid and not enough chips. BUT KITTENCALSKITCHEN makes a mean Chili nacho recipe Recipe 138163 Easy Chili Nachos. I made these both in the same week and I much prefer the baking over nuking. This one is made in no time flat so if you are in a hurry go for it. If you have time check out her other one. I would say these are snack shack type and the chili nachos are restaurant quality. It all depends on what you are looking for. Both are good. Enjoy! ChefDLH
