Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    If using grilled chicken, cook it on the grill until fully cooked, then slice. If using hand-breaded chicken, bread and fry or bake until golden brown and cooked through, then slice.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Queso

    Heat the queso cheese in a saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Nachos

    On a large platter, spread the tortilla chips evenly. Pour the warm queso over the chips, ensuring even coverage.

  4. 4

    Add Toppings

    Top the queso-covered chips with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, diced onion, shredded cheese, and sliced jalapeños.

  5. 5

    Add Chicken and Sauce

    Arrange the sliced grilled or hand-breaded chicken over the nachos and drizzle with your choice of signature sauce.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your sauced chicken nachos!
