Chicken Tortilla Nachos (via MyHeavenlyRecipes.com) - These homemade chicken nachos are amazing. How can you go wrong with cheese and chips?Pin

Brace yourself yo! No seriously, these Chicken Tortilla Nachos are pretty addicting.

So remember the other day I posted about my Chicken Tortilla Soup that I literally made with little to no groceries in our home? Well, the next day for lunch I was starving and needed to feed myself, the Tiny Girl and Mr. Man. I had to get a bit creative as Tiny Girl refused to eat the soup for dinner the night before. So creative I got….

Chicken Tortilla Nachos was born.

Now you may be thinking “How were they not soggy?”. Well the answer my love was that I drained off the water/broth part and was left with the yummy goodness of chicken, corn, beans, onions, tomatoes and the seasoning.

Again I found the 3 year old complaining that she didn’t like the beans that they were “YUCKY!” so I removed them from the mix….again, to make my kid happy because I had the battle of meal time.

Hand her a apple and she’s good to go. Hand her yumminess on a plate and she picks a fight. I don’t get this kid. Do you EVER think I will?!?

Ingredients

Directions

Brace yourself, this is a hard one!

Place tortilla on a microwave safe plate. Sprinkle shredded cheese onto the tortilla chips. Using a slotted spoon (so the chicken mixture is all you have on the spoon) place the chicken tortilla ingredients onto the top of the cheese. Place in the microwave (about 30-45 seconds) until cheese is melted and the chicken mixture is heated up.

See how easy that was? My 3 year old even helped by pushing the numbers on the microwave. It’s something about her using the microwave and the toaster that she gets a kick out of….I’m hoping that carries over into her teen years and she can cook Mommy a gourmet meal on the stove. Here’s to hope!

ENJOY!
