[mercator]

1 bag tortilla chips

16 oz cheese (pref pepper jack, but to taste)

 

grate cheese

 

nuke for 45-75 seconds, or until melted.

optionally, add olives, tomatoes, guacamole, etc. depending on how much time you have beyond that first couple of minutes, since each additional element adds 1-2 minutes onto the prep time.
