Equipment

  • cookie sheet
  • parchment paper (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz shredded chicken
  • 13 oz bag of tortilla chips
  • 1 c pineapple thinly diced
  • 3/4 c BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 c BBQ sauce
  • 1/2 c red onion sliced into thin strips
  • 1 c sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 c Monterey jack cheese
  • cilantro

Instructions
 

  • In a medium sized bowl, mix 3/4 cup BBQ sauce with the shredded chicken. Toss to make sure all of the chicken is nice and covered in sauce. 
  • Slice your pineapple into thin, bite sized pieces.
  • Slice the red onion in thin strips.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and start layering your nachos. Start with a large cookie sheet (I line mine with parchment paper for an easier clean up since I don’t like to chisel baked cheese off my pan, but this is completely optional).
  • Layer the chips, BBQ chicken onion slices, pineapple and both kinds of cheese.
  • Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  • Drizzle remaining 1/4 cup BBQ sauce over the top. Sprinkle with cilantro (optional) and serve.
