This nachos recipe features American’s favorite snack food with a Mexican spin. It really doesn't get any easier than using microwaved-popped popcorn, store-bought taco seasoning, and pre-shredded Mexican-style cheese. Everything comes together in less than 15 minutes. We suggest having little bowls of chopped up tomatoes, olives, and jalapenos to use as toppings, but this popcorn tastes great straight out of the oven, too.
