Posted (Updated

If you’re looking for a quick and easy snack that packs a punch of flavor, microwave nachos with Tajín is the perfect choice. With just a few essential ingredients and minimal prep time, you can have a delicious plate of nachos ready to enjoy.

Essential Ingredients

  • Tortilla Chips: Choose your favorite kind – classic, thin, thick, or even multi-grain.
  • Cheese: Shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend of both.
  • Tajín Seasoning: The star of the show! Adds a tangy kick.

Optional Ingredients

  • Black Beans: Canned, drained, and rinsed.
  • Jalapeños: Sliced, pickled, or fresh, depending on your spice tolerance.
  • Additional Toppings: Salsa, guacamole, sour cream, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, chopped cilantro.

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Base: Spread a layer of tortilla chips evenly on a microwave-safe plate. Don’t overcrowd; you want each chip to have a chance to get some cheesy goodness.

  2. Add the Cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the chips.

  3. Microwave: Place the plate in the microwave and heat on high for about 45 seconds to 1 minute, or until the cheese is fully melted. Keep an eye on it; microwaves vary in strength.

  4. Add Tajín: Once the cheese is melted, sprinkle Tajín seasoning liberally over the top for a zesty, citrusy kick.

  5. Optional Additions:
    • If desired, add black beans before microwaving for extra flavor and protein.
    • After microwaving, you can add sliced jalapeños for some heat.
    • Garnish with your choice of additional toppings like sour cream, salsa, avocado, or fresh cilantro.
  6. Serve: Enjoy your quick and customizable microwave nachos with Tajín!
