Description:
Don’t let the name fool you, these nachos are actually quite good. My old roommate and I invented this recipe as a result of boredom, hunger, and economic reasons (which is where the name comes from). We used to make this when we were watching a movie and didn’t want to stop the movie to go cook something. I still make ghetto nachos from time to time if I’m in a hurry or I’m strapped for cash.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup black beans
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
- 2 cups tortilla chips
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a microwave-safe dish (bowl preferred), place a thin layer of the chips. |
| 2 | Add a layer of the black beans and some cheese. |
| 3 | Repeat steps 1 and 2 again. |
| 4 | Top with extra cheese. |
| 5 | Pop in the microwave on the highest power setting for about a minute and a half. |
| 6 | If your microwave doesn’t have a rotating plate, manually rotate the bowl every 45 seconds and increase cooking time to 2.5 minutes. |
| 7 | Top with your favorite salsa and sour cream. |
