CHEAP EATS: Microwave Nachos

I definitely should have took a picture, but I never think to take a picture of food. Anyway, this is the first in my series of dinners which you can make under $5...and exactly how I build them!

This is not the most healthy dish, but is definitely delish, and super easy!

1 Pound Ground Beef ($1.30 bought at Walmart on sale)*
1 Bag of Tortilla Chips ($1 bought at Aldi, normal price)**
1 Bag Sharp Cheddar Cheese ($1.50 bought at Kroger, on sale)
1 Onion (or green onion if choose) ($.25 roughly)
Taco Seasoning (Negligible...I buy a bulk one and it lasts forever)
Some Sour Cream ($.30 roughly for some dollops)
Some Salsa ($.50 roughly)
-----------------------------------------------
Total $4.85 (4 Servings)

Extras: Olives, Jalapenos, Guacamole, Beans, Other kinds of Cheese ... usually I only use these if they are on sale or I have them around.

*You can substitute beef for ground turkey or beans at varying prices
**You can make your own corn chips from corn tortillas (big pack around $2 at Walmart will yield about 3 batches of chips.)

Directions: Fry up your meat in a pan until cooked thoroughly. Add in some taco seasoning to taste, and possibly some salt and pepper. Drain grease. Arrange chips in a single layer on a plate. Sprinkle with cheese, onions, and beef & any extras. Do a second layer of chips the same way. Place in microwave for about a minute (watch till cheese melts). Will make 4 generous plates of nachos. P.S. You could also cook these in the oven on a cookie sheet, but I do it the fast way.

ENJOY!
