Microwave Cheesy Nacho Snack Bites

Ingredients

- 1 cup tortilla chips, slightly crushed
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/4 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

1. Prepare the Base
- Place the tortilla chips in a microwave-safe dish, arranging them in a single, even layer.

2. Add Toppings
- Evenly sprinkle the black beans over the chips. Try to distribute them so that each chip gets a bit of beans.

3. Cheese Layer
- Generously sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the chips and beans. Make sure the cheese is evenly distributed for a nice melt.

4. Microwave Cooking
- Place the dish in the microwave and cook on high for approximately 2 minutes.
- Pause to check the cheese melt and rearrange chips if needed. Continue microwaving for another 1 minute or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Monitor closely to avoid burning.

5. Final Touches
- Carefully remove from the microwave using oven mitts as the dish will be hot.
- Spoon the salsa over the cheese, distributing it evenly.
- Add slices of jalapeño for a spicy touch, including seeds if you desire extra heat.

6. Garnish & Serve
- Add dollops of sour cream over the top.
- Sprinkle the chopped cilantro for a fresh finish.

7. Enjoy!
- Serve immediately while the cheese is warm and gooey.
