2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup cilantro leaf, chopped
1 lime, juice of
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock
4 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
1 (1 lb) bag corn tortilla chips
1 (3 lb) roasted cooked chicken, skinned & shredded
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
2 green onions, chopped
1 jalapeno, chopped
1 cup cilantro leaf, roughly chopped
2 limes, juice of
salt and pepper

Steps:

Bring a pot of water to boil.
Add the tomatillos, jalapenos, onion and garlic. Simmer for 15 minutes, until the tomatillos are soft.
Drain, cool slightly and put them in a blender.
Add the cilantro, lime juice, and cumin. Puree for a few seconds to blend, and then pour in 1/4 cup of water and process to a coarse puree, season with salt.
You should have about 2 cups of this salsa verde. Put to one side.
Make a roux by melting the butter over med-low heat in a thick bottomed saucepan. Sprinkle in the flour, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for 2 minutes, then gradually whisk in the chicken stock and simmer for 5 minutes to thicken.
Fold in 2 cups of the shredded Jack cheese, and mix until melted into the sauce.
Stir in the prepared salsa verde until incorporated and remove from the heat.
Make the salsa by combining the cherry tomatoes, onions, jalapeno, cilantro and lime juice in a bowl; season with salt and pepper, tossing to combine.
To build these awesome nachos: Preheat oven to 350°.
Get a large oven proof platter and cover it with a few handfuls of tortilla chips, follow with a portion of the shredded chicken, a coating of the cheese sauce, and a nice sprinkle of the remaining jack cheese.
Make 3 or 4 layers of the nachos.
Bake until they are all hot and gooey, about 5 to 10 minutes.
Spoon the salsa over the top of the nachos, and serve with sour cream and guacamole.

Tips:

Choose the right tortilla chips. For the best nacho experience, use sturdy tortilla chips that can hold up to the toppings without getting soggy. Look for chips that are made with high-quality corn tortillas and that are not too thin or brittle.
Layer your toppings. When assembling your nachos, start with a layer of tortilla chips, then add a layer of your favorite toppings. Repeat this process until you have reached the desired height. Be sure to add a generous amount of cheese to each layer, as this will help to hold the nachos together.
Use a variety of toppings. The possibilities for nacho toppings are endless, so don't be afraid to get creative. Some popular options include shredded chicken, ground beef, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and sour cream. You can also use your favorite salsa or guacamole as a topping.
Bake or broil your nachos. Once you have assembled your nachos, you can either bake them in the oven or broil them in the broiler. Baking will give you a more evenly cooked nacho, while broiling will give you a crispier nacho. Whichever method you choose, be sure to cook the nachos until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve your nachos immediately. Nachos are best served hot and fresh out of the oven or broiler. So, once they are cooked, be sure to serve them to your guests right away.

Conclusion:

Chicken chili nachos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can be customized to suit your own taste. So, next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give chicken chili nachos a try. You won't be disappointed!
