  • Homemade tortilla chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1-2 cups Monterey Jack cheese and/or Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup red onion chopped
  • 1/2 guacamole peeled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup your favorite salsa
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro
  • additional toppings: guacamole sour cream, extra salsa because you can never have too much, hot sauce

Instructions
 

COOK CHICKEN/CHIPS:

  • Preheat oven to 375℉ and rinse chicken tenders and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Spray baking sheet with non-stick spray and lay out tenders so they do not touch.
  • Spray tenders with non-stick spray. Sprinkle with chili powder and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 18-20 minutes. While chicken is cooking, prepare tortilla chips.
  • Cut 4 tortillas into 8 even pieces and spread out on baking sheet. Spray tortillas with non-stick spray and sprinkle kosher salt on top. Bake for 12 minutes.

NACHOS:

  • Turn oven down to 350℉.
  • Lay all the baked tortilla chips on same baking sheet used for tortilla chips and assemble nachos. Layer chicken first, trying to make sure every chip has some chicken on top.
  • Continue to layer with cheeses, onion, cilantro, and salsa.
  • Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until cheese has melted.
  • Top with avocado and sour cream.
  • Serve with guacamole if desired, which I would recommend!!
