It's a super easy, single-serving snack ready in just 2 minutes using 2.8 oz of nachos, ham, cheese, and fresh vegetables.
The combination of warm, melted cheese, crispy nachos, and a refreshing, tangy vegetable topping is exquisite.
The spicy kick from the cheongyang chili pepper (청양고추) balances any richness, making it incredibly addictive.

🛒 Ingredient Tips
The role of fresh vegetables is crucial in this dish.
For the onion, choose a sweet, milder variety.
Select firm tomatoes with glossy skin.
For the lemon, pick one that is smooth and heavy, indicating more juice.
Choose nachos that are not too thin and stay crispy for longer.
Using both mozzarella and cheddar cheese ensures a rich, savory flavor with a satisfying stretch.
🔄 Substitution Guide
If you prefer bacon over sliced ham, make sure to cook the bacon until crispy and drain any excess fat before using.
The salty, savory flavor of bacon pairs wonderfully with nachos.
If you don't have tomato sauce, you can use just ketchup.
However, to prevent the flavor from being too one-dimensional, it's highly recommended to mix ketchup with minced garlic, soy sauce, and water.
You can also use only cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella, but you might lose some of the stretchy texture.
🥘 Ingredients
👨🍳 Cooking Points
The most important cooking point is the microwave cooking time.
While the recipe suggests 2 minutes, microwave wattages vary, so the cheese may melt differently.
It's best to microwave for about 1 minute 30 seconds, check the cheese, and then add 30-second increments if needed.
Second, for the ketchup sauce ratio: if your ketchup is too sweet, add a bit more minced garlic and soy sauce to balance the flavor.
Finally, prepare the vegetable topping while the nachos are in the microwave so you can add it immediately to the warm nachos, preserving the crisp texture of the fresh vegetables.
👨🍳 Directions
Dice the onion and tomato into 0.7 cm (0.28 inch) pieces.
Slice the cheongyang chili pepper (청양고추) in half lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise into 0.3 cm (0.12 inch) pieces.
Slice the scallions into 0.5 cm (0.2 inch) pieces.
Cut the sliced ham into 0.5 cm (0.2 inch) strips.
In a bowl, mix ketchup, minced garlic, soy sauce, and purified water to make the ketchup sauce.
In a microwave-safe dish, generously arrange the nachos. Top with the julienned sliced ham, then pour tomato sauce over one half and the prepared ketchup sauce over the other half.
Tear the sliced cheddar cheese by hand and place it on top, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Microwave for 2 minutes.
In another bowl, combine the diced onion, tomato, sliced scallions, and cheongyang chili pepper (청양고추). Squeeze the juice from the half-cut lemon, add salt, and mix well.
Top the microwaved nachos with the mixed vegetable topping and serve immediately.
💡 Tips
Adjust cooking time according to your microwave's wattage.
Ham can be used directly, but if using bacon, cook it in advance until crispy.
Tomato sauce can be substituted with cream pasta sauce or ketchup. If using ketchup, mixing it with minced garlic, soy sauce, and water will create a more authentic flavor.
You can use tomatoes without peeling the skin. When squeezing lemon juice, be careful not to let the seeds fall in.
📦 Storage & Reuse
This nacho taco is best enjoyed immediately while warm.
We do not recommend storing leftover nachos as they will lose their crispness.
If you have leftover ingredients, store the vegetable topping in an airtight container in the refrigerator; it can be used the next day as a salad topping or in sandwiches.
Store cheese and ham separately in the refrigerator, and use them as soon as possible.
This dish is truly best when prepared fresh.
