Step 1
Spread out the tortilla chips on a large plate or platter. In a skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Toss in the bell peppers and cook them for about a minute. Then add the onions and let everything cook together for another two minutes. Next, stir in the tomato and corn, seasoning the mix with chili powder, onion powder, and garlic salt. Let it cook for a couple more minutes, then take the pan off the heat.
Step 2
While the veggies are cooking, place the nacho cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it for about two minutes until it's nice and melty. Carefully drizzle the warm cheese over the chips, then spoon the cooked vegetables on top. Finish things off with some jalapeno slices for a little kick. Serve right away and enjoy!
Serving Combinations
Serve warm with sides like guacamole, salsa, or sour cream for added creaminess and zest. A cold drink, such as iced tea or a light beer, pairs well with the bold flavors and crunchy texture.
How To Keep It Fresh
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. To keep the chips from getting soggy, consider storing the toppings separately and assembling just before eating. Reheat gently in the oven to maintain crispness.
