Nobody can resist a hot platter of nachos. These shredded chicken nachos with homemade cheese sauce are easy to make and oh so delicious!
Ingredients
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 11 ounces corn tortilla chips
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 diced avocado
- 4 ounces diced green chilies drained
- 1 lime in wedges
- ¼ cup minced fresh cilantro
FOR THE CHEESE SAUCE:
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded pepper jack cheese
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
