Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (shredded) cooked rotisserie chicken
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 10 ounces tortilla chips
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 1 bunch green onions (sliced)
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup ranch dressing
- 1 whole jalapeño (sliced, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken and buffalo sauce until the chicken is fully coated.
On a large, oven-proof platter or a baking sheet, spread out the tortilla chips in an even layer.
Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese over the chips as the first layer of cheese.
Evenly distribute the buffalo chicken mixture on top of the cheese layer.
Add the remaining cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese on top of the chicken.
Place the nachos in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Remove the nachos from the oven and sprinkle the blue cheese crumbles and sliced green onions over the top.
If desired, add sliced jalapeños for an extra kick.
Serve immediately with sour cream and ranch dressing on the side for dipping or drizzling.
