Nuked Nachos

2 ingredients Cuisine: American Page updated October 2026

Nuked nachos are a fast microwave side that turns a handful of chips and some cheese into something warm and savory in about half a minute. The method is forgiving: diced, grated or pre-melted cheese all work, and any chip sturdy enough for dipping will do. Add cooked ground meat or peppers if you want more substance, and serve them alongside a quick lunch.

Instructions

Spread the chips in a single layer on a microwave-safe plate. Scatter the cheese evenly over the top.

Add any other toppings you like, as long as they are safe to heat in the microwave.

Microwave for 30 seconds, or until the cheese has melted. If any cheese has run onto the plate, peel it off and lay it back on the chips.

Eat the nachos while they are still hot.
