Tex-Mex Melts

These cracker melts are perfect if you are looking for a quick appetizer for a party.

Ingredients:

• 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 Tbsp. finely chopped seeded jalapeno pepper (I leave this out)
• 1 Tbsp. lime juice
• 1/4 cup shredded Mexican style cheese
• 36 Triscuit crackers (roasted garlic is my favorite)

Directions:

Combine tomato, onion, cilantro, pepper and lime juice; cover. Refrigerate at least 1 hour to allow flavors to blend. Place 6 crackers on microwaveable plate. Top each with 2 tsp. of the tomato mixture; sprinkle with 1 tsp. cheese. Microwave on high 15 seconds or until cheese begins to melt. Repeat with remaining topped crackers. Makes 18 servings, 2 topped crackers each.
