(45)

My husband wanted to find chips that tasted like those made at restaurants. Baking them is the key. These nachos are his claim to fame as a cook, and they're delicious! I love them as a quick appetizer or late-night snack! Serve with sliced jalapeños and your favorite hot sauce.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast

  • 1 (14.25 ounce) can refried beans

  • 8 ounces corn tortilla chips, divided

  • 1 ½ cups grated pepper Jack cheese, divided

  • ¼ cup chopped green onions

  2. Place chicken on a microwave-safe plate; cover with a paper towel. Cook on High power until cooked through and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Cool, then shred using a knife; set aside.

  3. Cook and stir refried beans in a saucepan over medium until thoroughly heated.

  4. Layer 1/2 chips, 1/2 cup cheese, and green onions on bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spoon beans over top. Layer 1/2 cup cheese and sour cream over beans. Arrange shredded chicken over top, then top with remaining each 1/2 chips and 1/2 cup cheese.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese melts throughout, 15 to 18 minutes.
