Loaded Nachos

Just as creamy and delectable as the traditional version is this Greek yogurt chicken salad. The yogurt brings a pleasant tartness. Apple works just as well for crunch as celery does for me. Useful application for leftover chicken shreds.

Ingredients

  1. cooking spray
  2. 1 (18 ounce) package tortilla chips
  3. 1 ½ pounds cooked, Mexican-seasoned ground beef
  4. 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
  5. 3 medium jalapeno peppers, thinly sliced
  6. 3 cups pico de gallo
  7. 1 (16 ounce) package shredded medium Cheddar cheese
  8. 3 cups queso blanco dip, warmed
  9. ¼ head iceberg lettuce, shredded
  10. 1 cup sour cream
  11. 1 tablespoon water, or as needed
  12. 2 stalks scallions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. Arrange a layer of tortilla chips on the tray. Sprinkle 1/2 of the cooked beef in a layer over the chips (don’t drown the chips!) then layer with 1/3 of the beans, 1/3 of the jalapeno peppers, 1/3 of the pico de gallo, and 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese; drizzle 1/3 of the queso blanco over top. Repeat layers once more, starting with chips and ending with queso blanco. Cover with aluminum foil.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 5 more minutes.
  4. Remove from the oven and transfer nachos to a platter. Top with shredded lettuce and remaining beans, jalapeno peppers, and pico de gallo.
  5. Stir sour cream with just enough water to thin slightly; drizzle over the nachos. Drizzle remaining queso blanco over top and sprinkle with scallions. Arrange remaining chips around the edges of the platter.
