FAQ

  • Can I use different types of beans?

    Yes, you can use pinto beans, refried beans, or any other type of bean you prefer.
  • Can I add meat?

    Absolutely! Cooked ground beef, shredded chicken, or chorizo are great additions to microwave nachos. Be sure the meat is already cooked before adding it.
  • How do I prevent the chips from getting soggy?

    Don't overload the chips with toppings. A thin layer of cheese and salsa is best. Also, microwaving for too long can make the chips soggy, so keep a close eye on them.
  • Can I use pre-shredded cheese?

    Yes, pre-shredded cheese works fine. However, freshly shredded cheese melts more evenly.
