1 1/2 c. (6 oz.) shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (4 oz.) can diced green chili peppers, drained
1 (2 1/4 oz.) can sliced pitted ripe olives, drained
1/4 c. sliced green onions
1/4 c. mayonnaise or salad dressing
1 (4 1/2 oz.) can tiny shrimp, drained and rinsed
36 to 40 round tortilla chips

Combine cheese, chili peppers, olives, onions and mayonnaise. Gently fold in shrimp.

Arrange 20 tortilla chips on a 12 inch microwave platter. (I use paper plate and they may not hold as many). Top each chip with a rounded teaspoon of cheese mixture.

Micro-cook, uncovered, on high power for 1 to 2 minutes, or until cheese melts. Repeat for remainder of chips.

Makes 36 to 40 chips, or approximately 12 servings of appetizers.
