JERK CHICKEN NACHOS



Jerk Chicken Nachos image

I got this recipe from a Pampered Chef catalog, and have altered it slightly, since I never bought the Pampered Chef Jerk spices or stoneware. I've made these a few times since, and they are fabulous! I crave them all the time! The cilantro is such a crazy blast of fresh... and the jerk-spiced sour cream is a great addition! Try these! ********I buy a jar of a Jamaican Jerk spice paste from the grocery store. I use WAY more cilantro.. like 1/4 CUP ! You can use a red or yellow, or whatever colour pepper you want. I use 2 cans of cooked chicken, I think this is MUCH easier, and you'd never know. I've used a couple different kinds of cheese. Usually I just buy a bag of whatever is on sale: 3 cheese blends, all cheddar, marble.. whatever you want. I use more like 1/2 cup of sour cream and 1 tbsp of jerk spice, and pipe it all over the nachos at the end. Enjoy! *********

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your nachos will taste. Use fresh vegetables, flavorful cheeses, and a good quality jerk seasoning.
  • Don't overcrowd the nachos: When assembling your nachos, don't pile on too many toppings. This will make them difficult to eat and the toppings will fall off.
  • Bake the nachos until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will help to hold the toppings together and make the nachos more flavorful.
  • Serve the nachos immediately: Nachos are best when served hot and fresh out of the oven. If you're making them ahead of time, reheat them in the oven before serving.
