My family loves nachos.  And bbq chicken.  And cheese.

So I knew this recipe would be a hit.

The fact that it only takes 15 minutes is a huge bonus.

That worked out really well the night I made them.  Due to a flat tire on one of the cars, we ended up eating in shifts again.  Nachos don’t hold over very well, but since they’re so quick to assemble and only need a few minutes under the broiler, it’s easy to make several batches.  That way everyone gets to eat them fresh.

We munched these with a Southwestern Chopped Salad kit I picked up at Kroger.  It turned out to be a great combo!

Here’s what you’ll need for the nachos:

This is more method than recipe.  You can change them up any way you like.  We pondered whether pineapple tidbits would be a good addition.  Our verdict is that it’s definitely worth trying!

I used rotisserie chicken that I had in the freezer.  You can use any kind of cooked chicken though.  If you’ve got leftover or batch cooked bbq chicken, all the better!
