QUICK MICROWAVE NACHOS
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Spread the tortilla chips in an even layer on a microwave-safe plate. ( Important : Never use a metal sheet pan or metal dish of any kind in the microwave.) There are no set quantities of these nachos. The important thing is to spread the tortilla chips in an even layer on the plate, with just a little overlap. If you stuff the plate with too many tortilla chips, you won't be able to cover them all with the cheese.
- Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the chips.
- Top with the jalapeño slices, if desired.
- Heat on high for 1 minute, just until the cheese is melted. Be sure to watch the nachos as they cook. Microwave ovens vary dramatically, and so your cooking time will also vary. Let the nachos stand for a few minutes to finish cooking.
- Serve immediately with sour cream, homemade pico de gallo , sliced black olives, chopped fresh tomatoes, and/or guacamole . Enjoy.

Steps:
- Fold a piece of parchment paper into eighths, paper airplane-style. Place the tip of the folded parchment in the center of a microwave-safe plate and measure the radius; cut remaining parchment off and unfold into a circle to fit the plate.
- Slice potato thinly using a mandolin and transfer to a bowl of cold water; rinse off as much starch as possible. Transfer potato slices to a clean kitchen towel to dry; blot tops as well to ensure they are as dry as possible.
- Brush some oil over the parchment paper. Working in batches, place as many potato slices on the oiled parchment that will fit; brush tops of slices with more oil.
- Cook in a microwave for 3 ½ minutes. Flip and continue to cook until browned and stiff, about 4 minutes more, checking the appearance often to make sure they don't burn.
- Transfer chips to a cold plate and season with salt. Let cool before serving. Continue with remaining potato slices.

Tips:
- Use fresh tortillas for the best results. Day-old tortillas will be more likely to break when microwaved.
- Cut the tortillas into uniform wedges or strips so that they cook evenly.
- Brush the tortillas lightly with oil to help them crisp up. You can use olive oil, vegetable oil, or avocado oil.
- Season the tortillas with salt and pepper, or your favorite seasonings, before microwaving.
- Microwave the tortillas in short bursts, checking on them every 30 seconds or so, to prevent them from burning.
- Let the tortillas cool slightly before serving so that they're easier to handle.
Conclusion:
Microwave tortilla chips are a quick and easy snack or appetizer that can be made in just a few minutes. With a few simple ingredients and a microwave, you can have crispy, flavorful tortilla chips that are perfect for dipping in your favorite salsa, guacamole, or queso.
