Tortilla Chips

Cheese Sauce

Method

Preparation of Spinach Artichoke Dip

  1. 1

    Cook the Spinach

    In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the fresh spinach until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dip Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the wilted spinach, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and smooth.

  3. 3

    Transfer to Baking Dish

    Spread the spinach artichoke dip mixture into an oven-safe baking dish and set aside.

Preparation of Cheese Sauce

  1. 4

    Make the Roux

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour until smooth and cook for 1-2 minutes.

  2. 5

    Add Milk

    Gradually add the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Continue to cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 6

    Incorporate Cheddar Cheese

    Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.

Assembly of Nachos

    Layer the Tortilla Chips

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the tri-colored corn tortilla chips evenly on a large baking sheet.

  2. 8

    Add Spinach Artichoke Dip

    Spoon the prepared spinach artichoke dip over the tortilla chips, spreading it evenly.

  3. 9

    Drizzle Cheese Sauce

    Pour the cheese sauce over the spinach artichoke dip, ensuring to cover the chips well.

  4. 10

    Add Five-Cheese Blend

    Sprinkle the five-cheese blend evenly over the top.

  5. 11

    Top with Grilled Chicken

    Evenly distribute the cubed grilled chicken on top of the cheese.

  6. 12

    Bake the Nachos

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

Final Toppings

  1. 13
