Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Blackened Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with blackening seasoning and cook in a skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Once done, shred or chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

    On a large baking sheet, layer the tortilla chips evenly. Top with the blackened chicken, queso cheese, red beans, cherry tomatoes, and sliced green onions.

  3. 3

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until the queso cheese is melted and bubbly.

  4. 4

    Add Salsa

    Remove the nachos from the oven and drizzle with salsa. Optionally, add more green onions on top for garnish.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your Mardi Gras nachos!
