That’s it, my friends! I hope you enjoy your chipotle chicken nachos. I hope they become your new go-to party appetizer! In fact, I don’t think I’ve been to a super bowl gathering without some form of nachos. Nachos are perfect for parties because everyone loves them. They have everything you want - a nice salty crunch, melty cheese all through the tortilla chips, spicy sauce mixed about, usually some kind of wonderfully seasoned meats, and loads of fun and spicy toppings. This particular recipe gives you all that and more! We’re talking Chipotle Chicken Nachos, my friends, and you’re going to love this recipe! To make them, we’re using my favorite Chicken Tinga Recipe, which is the Mexican name for chipotle shredded chicken and it is perfect for Mexican chicken nachos. Print this one off and keep it your special recipe box, or wherever you keep them. This is going to be a new regular recipe for you. Let’s talk about how to make chipotle chicken nachos, shall we? Heat the oil in a large pan to medium high heat and add the onions and jalapeno peppers. Cook them down about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Season the chicken breast (or thighs) with salt and pepper, then add them to the pan. Give them a nice sear on each side, a couple minute each. I’m using chicken thighs here today, though I make it with either chicken thighs are breast. Thighs are a bit juicier and fattier. Remove the cooked chicken and shred it with a couple of forks. Return the chicken to the pan and simmer in the sauce another 5 minutes. NOTE: Look at how sauce that is. YUM. See my recipe for shredded chipotle chicken here for further instructions. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the tortilla chips over a large baking sheet pan, baking dish or pan, or large oven safe bowl. I’m using the same pan after a quick rinse that I used to make the chipotle chicken. Top the tortillas with shredded chicken, then top with shredded cheeses. Boom! Easy enough, isn’t it? Chipotle Chicken Nachos are the ultimate game day recipe, perfect for just about any gathering you can think of. Serve them up at the super bowl party or the next game. Who cares who’s playing?
