Ingredients
- 1 11 oz Tortilla Chips
- 1 lb Ground Chicken
- 1 Packet Taco Seasoning
- ¼ cup Water
- 1 ½ cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 1 ½ cup Monterey Jack Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground chicken breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Add taco seasoning and water, and simmer until the sauce thickens.
- In a single layer on a large baking sheet, layer the tortilla chips, the seasoned chicken, shredded cheese, and diced red bell pepper (optional).
- Bake for 5 - 8 minutes. Remove from the oven when the cheese has melted.
- Sprinkle your favorite fresh toppings over the top of the chips. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Make sure to skimp on the cheese or toppings.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Be sure ground chicken is cooked through.
- Cut red bell peppers small, so they have time to soften just a bit.
- If serving a crowd double the recipe.
- Substitute leftover chicken for ground chicken.
- Add a few drops of hot sauce right before serving.
- Prep ingredients, including laying out the chips, chicken, and cheese, before your guests arrive, so all you have to do is throw the nachos in a preheated oven.
