NACHOS. Do you carefully and lovingly layer yours, or throw shit on a plate and nuke it?

I have a family member who favors the throw shit on a plate option.

What about you?

And sometimes I just use cheese and chips. (layered)

Fully loaded can include a lot of things. (homemade black bean & corn salsa, peppers, onions, black olives, homemade pico de gallo, meat, cheese, etc..)

I deconstruct them. The melted cheese is kept warm in a small electric pan on the table. Tortilla chips and toppings separated. A few chips go the plate, warm cheese applied, then toppings. This way the chips stay crunchy. I never have luck making salsa. It always turns out watery. I have no salsa sense.

A good portion size for only $1 here. Chips with beans, sauce and cheese... sad to say I've been basically living on these for the past couple months, along with a few other items off their $1 menu. For variety, the McDonald's Sausage Burrito (also $1), or the happy hour Corndog at Sonic (99¢). Not the healthiest choices, but not really in a "cooking" situation these days.
