Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 clove garlic, crushed
6 large green onions, sliced (divided)
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 large whole chicken breast, cooked and shredded
salt and pepper, to taste
1 pkg chicken taco seasoning (or regular taco seasoning)
6 oz tortilla chips
8 oz package cheddar/monterey jack cheese blend, shredded
1 c black beans, rinsed and drained
1 c canned corn, drained
1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
7 oz can sliced black olives, drained
1 large tomato, diced
1 scoop(s) sour cream, for garnish (optional)
1 scoop(s) guacamole or salsa (or both!), for garish (optional)
1 handful chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • 2. in a large skillet over medium heat, sauté garlic and about 2/3 of the chopped green onions in oil until tender, about 3 minutes. Add shredded chicken, salt, pepper and taco seasoning to skillet, and cook a few minutes until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally.
  • 3. Arrange tortilla chips in the bottom of 10-inch glass baking/quiche dish or an 8x11-inch baking dish . Heat in oven for 5 minutes (this will help to keep them crisp). Remove dish from oven, and sprinkle a handful of cheese over the heated chips (this will keep the chips from getting soggy). Spoon the chicken mixture evenly over the cheese layer. Distribute the black beans, corn, diced jalapeno, sliced olives and diced tomato over the chicken layer. Top with remaining cheese.
  • 4. Place dish in the oven to bake 5 to 10 minutes or until the cheese begins to melt.
  • 5. Top with a heaping serving of sour cream, guacamole or salsa on top, and garnish with remaining chopped green onions (or chopped cilantro, if you wish). And serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh chicken, vegetables, and cheese will give your nachos the best flavor.
  • Cook the chicken properly: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Don't just stick to the basics. Try adding different toppings like black beans, corn, salsa, or guacamole.
  • Don't overload the nachos: Too many toppings can make the nachos soggy.
  • Serve the nachos immediately: Nachos are best when they are served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Chicken nachos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or meal. By following these tips, you can make restaurant-style chicken nachos at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chicken nachos a try!
