Microwave Nachos

Ingredients

• 1 bag Mexican corn chips
• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 16 oz 1 can refried beans
• 1 small can sliced black olives
• 1 small can jalapeno peppers or milder green chiles
• 8 oz 1 package shredded Cheddar cheese
• diced tomatoes
• sour cream

Method

1. Lay the chips on a platter that fits your microwave.
2. Brown the beef in the microwave by placing it in a plastic colander over a small bowl to catch drippings.
3. Sprinkle the beef over the nachos and, using a teaspoon so you don't scatter or crack the chips, drop dollops of beans on top of the beef and chips. Sprinkle with olives, peppers or chiles and cheese.
4. Microwave on high 2 minutes or until the cheese melts. Add sour cream and diced tomatoes.
