Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken and buffalo sauce. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated.
On a large baking sheet, spread the tortilla chips in an even layer. Drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil over the chips for extra crispiness.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the tortilla chips.
Evenly spread the buffalo chicken mixture over the layer of cheese and chips.
Top the chicken with the remaining shredded cheeses.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the nachos from the oven and let cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Drizzle the ranch or blue cheese dressing over the top of the nachos.
Sprinkle diced tomatoes, red onion, sliced jalapeños, and chopped cilantro evenly over the nachos.
Add dollops of sour cream for an extra creamy finish, or serve it on the side as a dipping option.
