Ingredients

1 15-ounce can petit diced tomatoes, or diced tomatoes with green chiles

1 6-ounce can tomato paste

1 tsp. cajun seasoning, or seasoned salt of choice

1 10-ounce bag round tortilla chips

1 jar nacho sliced jalapenos (optional)

5 American cheese slices

cooking spray

Directions

If using a conventional oven, preheat to 375 degrees (F).

Drain the tomatoes, reserve the juice.

Drain the jalapenos.

Combine the juice drained from the tomatoes with the tomato paste, add the seasoned salt, mix well; add the tomatoes, mix.

Cut each cheese slice into six pieces; I cut each slice in half, then the halves into three pieces.

Arrange unbroken tortilla chips on a cookie sheet or large cooling rack.

Coat lightly with the cooking spray, bake for 3 - 4 minutes to add crispness.

Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of tomato mixture on each chip.

Put one or two jalapeno slices on each chip.

Top with cheese pieces; spray lightly with cooking spray to ensure the cheese melts smoothly.

Bake 4 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts.

Serve.

Microwave: use paper plates (not foam plates), you will get about 10 chips per plate; heat on high about 40 seconds to crisp the chips. Add the toppings, heat 45 seconds to a minute on high to melt the cheese. Times will vary with power of the oven, you will have to experiment to find the best time for your microwave
