How To Make blondie's microwave bean and cheese nachos

Step 1

In saucepan over medium heat, stir mashed beans in oil till smooth. Add seasonings and stir. Taste to see if it of your liking and adjust seasoning, if needed.

Step 2

Slice your cheese to the thickness you like and big enough to fit your nacho. Slice jalapeno, serrano and set aside.
Step 3

Place the chips on a microwave-safe plate(s). Spread beans on...as much as YOU like. Place slice of cheese on top of beans and then as many slices of pepper YOU like.
Step 4

Place in microwave for 1 to 1&1/2 minutes. If cheese is not melted cook 30 seconds at a time till they are. Serve alone or as an accompaniment with other appetizers or mexican dishes.
Step 5

NOTE: You can make less and refrigerate or freeze the beans if you're making these for 1 or 2 people. Otherwise this will make enough for 4 or 5. Adjust how much cheese and peppers to slice according to how many you will be feeding. This is something that can be made in a snap! ~~~~~~~~~~ENJOY~~~~~~~~~~
