The reviewer gave this recipe 4 stars. This recipe averages a 4.39 star rating.

I was hoping to write a glowing review of this, but I made this pretty much as written, and it was just "pretty good". Of course, there are a lot of variables when making nachos, so with some tweaking, this could be indeed "killer". The chips are a big factor - I couldn't find a 12-ounce bag exactly, so I used a 13-oz bag of 100% white corn "restaurant style" chips. I think fewer chips would be better, say 10-oz. And I realized that unsalted chips would also taste better, since this dish was pretty salty. I used exactly 1 tsp. of cayenne, and let the chicken marinate for a little over 15 minutes. The resulting dish wasn't very spicy, to my taste, so I think a lot more cayenne would be better, and/or more marinating time. I baked the dish for 15 minutes, but next time I'll go for the full 20. And I didn't add the recommended toppings, which I regretted - they'd really round out the dish. This was a good start though - my first nachos recipe ever.

Never thought I could make nachos at home, but this recipe makes it possible! I added a few things that weren't in the recipe: -baked nachos with white onion -after the 1st layer of chips added a can of refried beans as a layer -Used Embasa salsa verde instead of the diced chilis -Had cilantro, salsa, and guacamole on table to serve with the nachos -Used skim mexican cheese blend The nachos tasted delicious. Next time I'm thinking of baking them longer so the chips are crispier.

Made these for a small party and they went fast but better to eat while hot out of the oven.

For this recipe I had left over cooked chicken tenders to use. I shredded them in the food processor. Placed shredded chicken in a pan and added taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. I also heated the chips in the oven for 5 minutes before placing toppings. Instead of using already shredded mexican cheese I used some jarred cheese sauce and added additional fresh shredded monterey jack and cheddar cheese. My family devoured this! We had never made nachos at home. We liked the fact that they didn't come out soggy. Will definitely make again using ground turkey, sausage and beef.

This was really good - I will definitely make again. I did add refried beans, a sprinkle of taco seasoning and some garlic salt & pepper. I will use again for other dishes...EVERYONE in my house of seven liked. :) Thanks for the recipe.

Great for a quick lunch! Added refried beans and didn't used the green chilies or cayenne. I spiced with my husband's spice mixture. Thanks for the post!

My family loves this. I leave out the cayenne and use taco seasoning. I also add a layer of refried or black beans, and I use more cheese. It's really good!

First of all THANK YOU for this great recipe!!! I've only tweeked it a little but I've made it several times and everyone loves it. My first tweek: make your own chips! Get some corn tortillas and cut them into triangles. Then fry them in oil, salt and voila! Really crispy chips. THEN - my second tweek; I added Sazon Goya seasoning and some fajita seasoning as well as an onion to the chicken as I cooked it. I cooked the heck out of the chicken and chopped it very fine. Pop it in the oven, pull it out, plop some sour cream and salsa on it and WOW! Superb! Thanks again!

These nachos were the BOMB!!!!! I made this for lunch yesterday. I did mine a little different though. I read through the reviews first and got the idea of adding taco seasoning to the chicken so I used 1 pack. I also added a lot more cayenne pepper(not sure how much). I used a full 8oz bag of mexican cheese. I did everything else the same as the recipe. The toppings we used were sour cream, salsa, olives, and jalapeno peppers. My husband and three kids loved every bit of it. D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S

YUM! Can't say enough good things about this. I just used the chicken, cheese, and chips, with no extras and it was PERFECT! I have actually made this three times in the past month since I got the recipe. Only modification was adding a tbsp of butter and some teriyaki sauce to the chicken while stir-frying to give it additional flavor. DELICIOUS!

Great base recipe but needs individualizing to be super. We added a can of refried beans before baking and only had two layers. We topped the nachos after baking with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, chopped onion, sliced black olives and jalapenos. The end product was delicious!
