Always a favourite, Nachos can be made on the cheap, but also taste absolutely incredible! From fresh produce to succulent meat, this nachos combination is perfect for the family, and also as a cheeky solo meal!

 

Crunchy Chicken Nachos

Serves 3

 

Ingredients:

1 x bag original salted Doritos or cc's or any corn chips

1 x avocado

1 x Old El Paso Crispy Chicken Seasoning (35g)

2 x chicken breasts

1 x tin Old El Paso Refried Beans

1 x Lime

1 x Chilli (for flavour if you want)

1 x Salsa of your choosing (homemade or bought)

Handful or more of mozzarella cheese

 

 

 

Method:

Preheat oven to 200C

Line a baking tray with baking paper

Spread the corn chips over the baking paper evenly

Slice the chicken into 1cm thick strips

Put chicken strips into a clipseal bag with seasoning and shake until coated
(This is something the kids can help you with, or just an entertaining job for yourself)

Pan fry the chicken in olive oil and cook until crispy
(make sure the heat is on low as you don't want it to burn)

Spread the cooked chicken over the corn chips

Pour the refried beans into a microwaveable container and heat for 30 seconds

Spread evenly over the chicken and corn chips

Pour salsa over the corn chips and top with the cheese (as much or less as you like)

Put nachos into oven and cook until the cheese is nice and crispy (or gooey)

Whilst nachos is in oven, make up your guacamole with the avocado

Chop the avocado and put into a bowl. Use a fork and mash the avocado and add salt, pepper and lime juice

 

 

 

Once the nachos has been cooked, put onto a nice board, the guacamole on the side and enjoy with a nice salty margarita or cold beer!!!
