Tortilla Chips

Method

Preparing the Protein

  1. 1

    Grilling the Chicken or Steak

    If you are using the grilled adobo chicken, marinate the chicken in adobo seasoning and salt for at least 30 minutes before grilling. For steak, season with adobo seasoning, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Cooking on Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare (internal temperature of 135°F).

  3. 3

    Resting the Protein

    Once cooked, remove the chicken or steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.

Assembling the Nachos

  1. 4

    Layering the Chips

    On a large serving platter or baking sheet, spread out the tortilla chips evenly.

  2. 5

    Adding Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, and crumbled queso fresco evenly over the tortilla chips.

  3. 6

    Adding Protein

    Distribute the sliced grilled chicken or steak evenly over the cheese layer.

  4. 7

    Melting the Cheese

    Place the assembled nachos in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
