Nachoooooos

I basically just had a craving for queso, so I looked a recipe and made my own rendition of nachos. They were super yum and fattening, but maybe the pico makes up for it. I hope you enjoy!


Of course, my favorite chips for any mexican food.



Queso blanco 



Blackened chicken.


Pico de gallo.



My huge plate of nachos because I eat a lot. I always finish off my husband's plate when he is done.

Ingredients:
1 bag of tortilla chips
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts 
6-8 ripe roma tomatoes, chopped
1/3 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
1/3 sweet onion, chopped
2 jalapeƱos, seeded and diced
2 lbs Velveeta queso blanco
4 oz can diced green chilis 
1 cup milk
2 Tbs butter 
olive oil
salt and pepper

Directions:
  • Pre-chop tomatoes, cilantro, onion, and jalapeƱos. Mix together in a bowl and season with salt; set aside.
  • Heat up a skillet on high heat and a saucepan on low heat.
  •  While heating, cut chicken breasts in half long-ways and season with salt and pepper. 
  • Cut the Velveeta into cubes.
  • Add a few tablespoons of olive oil to skillet and add chicken.
  • Add Velveeta, green chilis, milk, and butter to saucepan. Stir frequently until melted and blended.
  • Sear chicken on each side until crispy and cook for about ten minutes, or until cooked through.
  • Shred chicken into small pieces.
  • Assemble nachos with chips, queso, chicken, and pico. Enjoy!
(note: this makes about 8 servings of queso and pico, so you can double the chicken and chips for 8 servings. Otherwise this serves 4-5.)
