Ingredients

  • 30 tortilla scoops or chips of choice
  • 1/2 cup ground beef cooked with taco seasoning, about 1/4lb
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella
  • jalapeño sliced, as desired
  • green onions sliced, as desired
  • 1/2 avocado cubed
  • cilantro roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Instructions

  • Arrange your chips in a single layer on a microwavable plate. Add a bit of ground beef to each chip then top with a generous amount of cheese. Add one slice of jalapeño and a pinch of sliced green onions to each chip.

  • Microwave (1-2 minutes, depending on microwave) until cheese is melty, but not over cooked and crispy. You want the cheese to be still stringy. I start with 1 minute and then do 30 second intervals until it’s melted to my liking.
