Equipment
- Large bowl or container
- Spoon Or Fork
- Measuring cup
- Microwave
Ingredients
- 2 packs of instant ramen noodles
- 1 small bag of chips like Cheetos, Doritos, or Fritos
- 1 can of tuna
- 1 packet of cheese spread
- 1-2 seasoning packets from ramen or other sources
- Hot water enough to cook the noodles
Instructions
- Break the ramen noodles into smaller pieces while still in the package. Place the broken noodles in a large bowl or container. Add hot water just enough to cover the noodles, and let them sit for about 5 minutes until they soften.
- While the noodles are cooking, take the bag of chips and crush them into small pieces by pressing on the bag with your hands.
- Drain the can of tuna or cut the sausage into small pieces.
- Once the noodles are soft, drain any excess water. Add the crushed chips to the noodles and mix well. Add the tuna or sausage, mixing until evenly distributed.
- Stir in the cheese spread or shredded cheese until it melts and coats the mixture. Sprinkle in the seasoning packets and mix well.
- If desired, add hot sauce, chopped pickles, jalapeños, or any other toppings you like.
- Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes, giving the flavors time to meld and the spread to thicken.
- Serve directly from the bowl or container, or scoop portions onto plates. Enjoy!
