Spicy Chicken Nachos

WARNING: These nachos are very spicy but so good.

Even after I told my dad a billion times that these were really really spicy he still decided to dive right on in and ate them relatively fast which resulted in him getting major heartburn.

First I must state that this recipe is a spin off of the Pioneer Woman's Beef Fajita Nachos.

Big-D loves these, I love these, and even the guys at work love them.


First I made the marinade for the chicken (while actually the first thing I did was to cut up the chicken). Using the a blender I mixed together some lime juice, garlic, chipolte peppers and canola oil.


Blend the ingredients together until combined.


Next using a plastic sandwich bag mix the marinade and the chicken together. Place in the refrigerator for at least one hour, the longer it marinates the better it will be.


Chop up the onion and peppers into nice bite sized pieces. 


Cover a cookie sheet with tin foil and cover with scoops (make sure that the scoop part is up).


Cover the scoops with a nice layer of cheese and place in oven until the cheese is melted.


Next place onions and peppers in a frying pan and cook until slightly tender. 


Place the chicken into a frying pan and cook until no longer pink in the middle.


Once the onions and peppers are cooked, cover the scoops with the vegetables.


When the chicken is fully cooked evenly cover the scoops.


Look at how yummy!!!


Cover with some more cheese and place in oven until cheese is melted.


Yumminess (yep just made that word up)!
