Can I Use The Microwave?

You might be asking yourself, why do I need to use an oven or skillet instead of using the microwave? It is faster and easier to use, right?

Actually, you have a point that it is quicker but the thing is, you may not be able to recapture and get the taste you are looking for.

There is actually a higher chance that nachos reheated using a microwave tend to be soggy and sad. Of course we do not want soggy food in front of us most especially if it is nachos we are talking about.
