Mac & Cheese Nachos

No exact amounts for this one - just put this together based on how you like your nachos!
  • Tortilla chips
  • Salsa
  • Leftover Favorite Mac & Cheese
  • Jalepeno slices
  • Sliced black (or green, if preferred) olives
  • Shredded iceberg lettuce
  • Shredded cheddar cheese - optional
  • Sour cream - optional
Spread tortilla chips onto a microwavable plate. Pour salsa over the chips and spread thinly and evenly. Spread the Mac & Cheese out over the chips (it's best to use your hands for this). Top with jalepeno slices and olives. Sprinkle some extra cheddar cheese over top, if desired. Microwave (a large plate) for 2 minutes on high. Remove from microwave and top with shredded lettuce and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
Note: You can bake this in the oven instead of microwaving (the chips won't get as soft). 400 degrees in a preheated oven for several minutes; until heated through and the cheese is melted. (I'm sorry I don't have an exact time - you have to watch it, as it depends on the size of the plate.)
