Nacho Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the boneless chicken breasts and cook until no longer pink in the center, about 7-8 minutes per side. Once cooked, shred the chicken and mix it with the smoky BBQ sauce.

  2. 2

    Make the Chips

    If using store-bought chips, skip this step. For homemade chips, cut tortillas into triangles and fry them in hot oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Nachos

    Layer tortilla chips on a large baking sheet. Top with the shredded BBQ chicken, sliced red onions, and cheddar cheese.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven and top with jalapeños and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
