Ingredients
- 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 mango, cut into small dice
- 1 avocado, cut into small dice
- 1 jalapeno, minced (seeds and membranes removed for less heat)
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 rotisserie chicken, meat shredded (skin and bones discarded)
- 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
- 3 cups tortilla chips
- 3 cups plantain chips
- One 15-ounce can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- For the mango and avocado salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the cilantro, garlic, mango, avocado, jalapeno and lime juice. Mix in the salt and pepper. Set aside.
- For the jerk chicken nachos: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F or prepare a grill for indirect heat to 400 degrees F.
- In a small skillet over medium heat, combine the chicken, jerk seasoning and 3 tablespoons water. Cook until the water is totally evaporated and the seasoning is evenly distributed, about 3 minutes.
- Spread the tortilla and plantain chips out evenly on a baking sheet or in a disposable foil pan. Top with the beans and chicken, then the cheese. Place in the oven or on the grill over indirect heat and bake until the cheese is bubbly, 7 to 8 minutes. Top with the mango and avocado salsa and drizzle with the sour cream.

Reviews
One change for the beans for those who don’t like beans: I substituted the pinto beans with a can of refried beans I heated in a frying pan (yum!). And one suggestion: if you don’t have good rotisserie chicken near you, you can use a bag of precooked fajita chicken which is often very dry. This recipe was fabulous and it moistened the fajita chicken. So yum all around. I made it for lunch and it was so easy and fast. Thank you for this quick recipe.
This was a huge hit over the 4th. Will be making again!
When I first read this I was unsure about this one, Now watching Katie Lee assembling it I know my family will love this one so I am off to the food store.
