Ingredients

  • 6 cups tortilla chips (a family-sized bag)
  • 3 cups cooked chicken, diced (great way to use leftover rotisserie chicken or ‘basic bitch’ chicken)
  • 2 cups shredded marble cheese
  • 2 Tbsp spice blend, divided (use Cajun or Jamaican or similar spice blend)
  • 1 sweet red bell pepper or combination of yellow, red, orange
  • 1 lime
  • 2 Tbsp cilantro, minced
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Arrange tortilla chips on a large baking sheet.
  2. In a bowl combine chicken, cheese, and 1 Tbsp of the spice blend; toss to coat. Sprinkle chicken mixture evenly over tortilla chips. Bake 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  3. Meanwhile dice the bell pepper and put in a small bowl. Add the juice of half of the lime into the bowl along with the remaining 1 Tbsp of the spice blend.
  4. Slice the remaining lime half into wedges.
  5. Spoon bell pepper mixture over the cooked nachos; sprinkle evenly with cilantro.
  6. If desired, combine sour cream and additional spice blend in resealable plastic bag; trim corner to allow sour cream to flow through.
  7. Divide the nachos onto plates and pipe sour cream mixture over nachos. Serve with lime wedges.
