1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus wedges for serving
1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapeno plus 1 tablespoon brine
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 small plum tomatoes, diced (about 1 cup)
1 ripe avocado, diced

GRILLED CHICKEN NACHOS WITH LIME CREMA



Grilled Chicken Nachos with Lime Crema image

Marinated and grilled chicken breast and a blend of Mexican cheese nachos topped with lime crema and cilantro. I created this dish to pair with Vermentino wine which is customarily served with seafood. The pair worked really well and I had many requests for the nacho recipe. I kind of just did it, so use this as a guideline and make it your own!
