Method

Prepare the Chicken

  1. 1

    Sauté the Chicken

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken and taco seasoning. Stir to coat the chicken evenly.

  2. 2

    Add Water

    Pour in the water and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is heated through and the seasoning is well blended.

Assemble the Nachos

    Layer the Chips

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). On a large baking sheet, spread out the tortilla chips in an even layer.

  2. 4

    Add Chicken

    Spoon the seasoned shredded chicken evenly over the tortilla chips.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese and Jalapeños

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the chicken. Top with sliced jalapeños.

Bake the Nachos
