Spicy Chicken Pepper Nachos

These nachos are absolutely amazing!!! Please take the time to fry your own chips, it’s SO worth the work. The taste is out of this world!



Spicy Chicken Pepper Nachos
Ingredients:

  • Pack of 20-24 corn tortillas, quartered
  • a small bit of cooking oil
  • shredded chicken (I used leftover fried chicken)
  • chili powder
  • cumin
  • cotija cheese
  • shredded mexican blend cheese
  • 4-5 small, fresh sweet peppers – red, yellow & orange (sliced)
  • 2 fresh sliced jalapeños
  • sour cream
  • guacamole
  • fresh cilantro
  • your fave hot sauce
  
 Take your stack of tortillas and cut them into quarters.  Heat oil and fry one layer of tortillas at a time; drain after frying. While chips are frying, shred some chicken. I used 2 pieces of leftover fried chicken breast. Use whatever you like! Sprinkle chicken shreds with a little chili powder & some cumin to taste.

On a 9 x 13 cookie sheet, spread a layer of tortilla chips. Cover with shredded chicken, cotija & shredded cheese.  Add another layer of chips, shredded chicken, cotija, shredded cheese, sweet pepper rings and jalapeños.

Bake nachos in preheated 400 degree oven for about 7-8 minutes.
Top with spicy guacamole, sour cream, cilantro & Tapatio hot sauce. 


YUM!!
