Chicken Nachos for Entertaining


With football season, I love to make this for guests at our house. It is so yummy and makes sooo much! There are everyday pantry items in this that you would have on hand. You can add or take away as much as you like!!!!


1 bag of tortilla chips (I prefer the traditional triangular ones for this)
2 (12.5) oz cans of cooked chicken, drained
1 can of refried beans
1 can green chilies
2 small cans sliced olives drained
1 medium size tomato chopped and diced
handful of fresh green onions chopped
shredded cheddar cheese, enough to sprinkle and cover!!! :)
2-3 tsps taco seasoning.


In a medium sauce pan, add the 2 cans of cooked, drained chicken over medium heat until warm. With a spatula try to pull apart the chunks of the chicken to make smaller "same size" bites for the nachos. Once warm add the taco seasoning and enough water to soak it into the chicken. Once fully coated with the seasoning, set aside.
On a pizza pan (or cookie sheet) layer your nachos starting with the chips on the bottom. Next add the refried beans, seasoned chicken, green chilies, olives, green onions, tomatos, and of course top with the cheese covering the entire pan!!! :)

Place nachos into the oven at 400' for about 10 minutes. Watch them closely, it wont take long at this temp. I check mine every 2-3 minutes to see if the cheese has completely melted. Once the cheese has melted, pull them out and enjoy!!!!!
