Half 13-ounce bag corn tortilla chips (about 6 ounces)
1 link cooked chorizo, quartered lengthwise then cut in to 1/2-inch pieces
6 ounces freshly grated Cheddar (about 2 cups)
6 ounces freshly grated Monterey jack cheese (about 2 cups)
1 cup refried beans
4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
4 tablespoons guacamole
4 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapenos
4 tablespoons salsa

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-low heat. Tear off 4 18-inch long pieces of heavy-duty foil and put them on a work surface, shiny-side up, with a long end of each piece closest to you. Spray evenly with cooking spray.
  • Pile a quarter of the chips on the left side of 1 piece of foil, sprinkle with a quarter of the chorizo, Cheddar and Monterey jack. Dollop with a quarter of the refried beans. Fold over the empty-side of foil and seal the edges to make a packet. Repeat with the remaining foil, chips, chorizo, Cheddar, Monterey jack and beans.

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

One 17-ounce box breaded barbecue-flavored chicken nuggets with flavor packet (if included)
1 cup frozen roasted corn kernels, thawed
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus wedges for serving
1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapeno plus 1 tablespoon brine
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 small plum tomatoes, diced (about 1 cup)
1 ripe avocado, diced
1/4 small red onion, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
Kosher salt
One 15-ounce can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons adobo sauce from canned chipotles in adobo
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
10 cups tortilla chips (about 8 ounces)
4 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (about 16 ounces)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup pickled jalapeno slices

Steps:

  • For the chicken and salsa: Position an oven rack in the top of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
  • Bake the chicken nuggets according to the oven method on the package directions. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, make the salsa. Toss together the corn, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeno with brine, olive oil, tomatoes, avocado, onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • For the nachos: Combine the beans, adobo sauce and olive oil in a medium bowl. Spread the tortilla chips in an 11-by-15-inch baking dish or rimmed baking sheet. Top with the shredded cheese and the bean mixture. Bake on the top rack until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the beans are heated through, about 10 minutes.
  • While the nachos bake, cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and toss in a medium bowl with the contents of the flavor packet if included.
  • Top the baked nachos with the salsa and chicken bites. Dollop the sour cream over the top and sprinkle with the cilantro leaves and jalapeno slices. Serve with lime wedges.

Time 1h

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 12

cooking spray
1 (18 ounce) package tortilla chips
1 ½ pounds cooked, Mexican-seasoned ground beef
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
3 medium jalapeno peppers, thinly sliced
3 cups pico de gallo
1 (16 ounce) package shredded medium Cheddar cheese
3 cups queso blanco dip, warmed
¼ head iceberg lettuce, shredded
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon water, or as needed
2 stalks scallions, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Arrange a layer of tortilla chips on the tray. Sprinkle 1/2 of the cooked beef in a layer over the chips (don't drown the chips!) then layer with 1/3 of the beans, 1/3 of the jalapeno peppers, 1/3 of the pico de gallo, and 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese; drizzle 1/3 of the queso blanco over top. Repeat layers once more, starting with chips and ending with queso blanco. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 5 more minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and transfer nachos to a platter. Top with shredded lettuce and remaining beans, jalapeno peppers, and pico de gallo.
  • Stir sour cream with just enough water to thin slightly; drizzle over the nachos. Drizzle remaining queso blanco over top and sprinkle with scallions. Arrange remaining chips around the edges of the platter.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the nachos will taste. Use fresh, flavorful chicken, cheese, and vegetables.
  • Don't overload the nachos: It's important to find a balance between the amount of toppings and the amount of chips. Too many toppings can make the nachos soggy, while too few toppings can make them bland.
  • Layer the ingredients: Start with a layer of chips, then add a layer of chicken, cheese, and vegetables. Repeat this process until you have used all of the ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: The chicken should be cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in nachos. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Nachos are a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Add your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or jalapeños.

Loaded BBQ chicken nachos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they are always a hit with kids and adults alike. With a few simple tips, you can make the best loaded BBQ chicken nachos that will be the star of your next gathering.
