When you need a quick, bright Mexican fix, here's a great go-to recipe. These nachos can be made, start to finish, in just 11 minutes. It's the perfect snack or appetizer for one, but it can be easily scaled up if you want to serve them to a crowd. The tortilla chips are topped with roast beef that's been seasoned with ground cumin and dried oregano. Sprinkle with Mexican-style cheese, then simply pop the chips into the microwave to melt the cheese and warm the beef. All that's left to do is top with jalapenos, store-bought salsa, and a touch of fresh cilantro—with no pots or pans to clean, it doesn't get much easier than that.
