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.)
That looks delish!
