Don't believe these are the world's greatest chicken nachos? Try them. A spicy picadillo mixture, using chicken instead of the traditional beef, gives this nacho recipe a special zip. Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil |
8 ounces ground chicken or turkey |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely chopped |
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon chili powder |
3 tablespoons raisins |
1 tablespoon cider vinegar |
2 teaspoons sugar |
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained |
1 (16-ounce) can pink beans (such as goya) or other small beans, drained |
40 baked tortilla chips |
1/2 cup bottled salsa |
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°.
2. To prepare chicken picadillo, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken, cumin, oregano, salt, and jalapeños; cook until chicken is browned, stirring to crumble. Stir in flour and chili powder; cook 1 minute. Add raisins, vinegar, sugar, and tomatoes; cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add beans; cook until thoroughly heated.
3. To prepare nachos, arrange chips on a large baking sheet. Spoon chicken picadillo and salsa evenly over chips; sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 450° for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
