Ingredients
- 4 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 2 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning
- 2 Tablespoons Chili Powder
- Salt As Needed
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- 1 can (8 Ounces) Tomato Sauce
- 2 cups Hot Water
- Several Dashes Hot Sauce
- Good Tortilla Chips
- Cheddar Jack Cheese, Freshly Grated
- Optional: Pico De Gallo, Sour Cream, Sliced Black Olives, Sliced Green Onions, Cilantro Leaves, Guacamole, Etc.
Instructions
- Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with the taco seasoning and chili powder. Rub in the seasonings as much as you can.
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts on both sides until deep golden and totally done in the middle, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes.
- In the same skillet, whisk in the tomato sauce, hot water, and several dashes of hot sauce and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and keep warm. Taste and adjust seasonings (you may need to add a little salt, depending on the taco seasoning you use).
- Shred the chicken using two forks, then transfer the shredded chicken to the sauce. Toss to coat it in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more hot water and allow to simmer for a few minutes.
- To build the nachos, layer the chips, cheese, and shredded chicken on a dish in several layers, ending with a small layer on top. Microwave the dish (or place it in a 350 degree oven if ovenproof) until the cheese is totally melted.
- Serve as is or add whatever extras you'd like! Dive into it immediately.<br>
