My best friends will laugh at this understatement... I love nachos. Seriously, chips and melted cheese is a big time weakness for me and we have had a long time love affair. I was even told by a guy, okay a boy in high school, that one of the reasons he was dumping me was because I ordered nachos at the movies and the crunching was too loud. It's okay though. Nachos are still providing joy to my life.
Now that I spend most nights making dinner for one, I often take shortcuts and spare myself the work that goes into cooking/cleaning. This usually results in me whipping up some quick nachos. To make nachos an acceptable meal for dinner (a few nights in a row!) I find creative ways to make it a unique and tasty dish. I always start with the same base of tortilla chips but mix up the toppings.
This recipe is based off a meal that my mom except she would bake them on flour tortillas. Since I am impatient when I get home, and I love the crunch of a good nacho, I adjusted the recipe so it could be microwaved on tortilla chips.
First you chop up fresh spinach, add chopped garlic, drizzle a little olive oil and sprinkle a little salt and pepper.
Add some shredded mozzarella cheese (I used reduced fat), microwave just enough for the cheese to melt. It varies based on microwaves, but for me it was 40 seconds. After that I sprinkle a little crushed red pepper to add some more kick and you're done!
looks and tastes amazing!!!!!!! :) :) :) :)
