Buffalo Chicken Nachos Recipe

American · Main course · 35 min total

Crispy tortilla chips loaded with spicy buffalo chicken, melted cheese, and all the fixings for a perfect game-day snack or casual dinner.

Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works great)
• 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 (13 oz) bag tortilla chips (about 10 cups)
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese (or cheddar/jack)
• 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup sliced green onions
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
2. In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and melted butter. Toss to coat evenly.
3. Spread tortilla chips in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Top with half the cheese, then the buffalo chicken mixture, then remaining cheese.
4. Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with blue cheese (if using), tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro.
6. Drizzle with sour cream and ranch/blue cheese dressing. Serve immediately.

Tips

• Adjust spice level by using mild or extra-hot buffalo sauce.
• For extra crunch, add a layer of pickled jalapeños before baking.
• Leftovers can be reheated in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes, but nachos are best fresh.
