Fajita Nachos Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Add the chicken breast to a bowl and season with salt, chili powder, garlic powder, and cumin.
• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and cook chicken until slightly charred and no longer pink. Cook chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove cooked chicken from the skillet, and transfer into a bowl.
• Heat another tablespoon of oil, add the onions and cook for a couple minutes until onions are slightly translucent.
• Add the garlic and peppers and cook slightly, then remove from heat. Transfer garlic and peppers to the chicken bowl, then top with lime juice.
• Lay down half the tortilla chips on the skillet, followed by half the fajita mixture, and top with pepper Jack and cheddar cheese. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Bake until the cheese has melted, about 15 minutes.
• Add your choice of topping (optional).

Steps:

• If you have a grill, grill flank steak seasoned with fajita seasoning until done.
• If not, you can also cook indoors in a well-greased skillet.
• Arrange tortilla chips on a baking sheet with aluminum foil covering it.
• A pizza pan works particularly well for this.
• Top the chips with the cooked Flank Steak, topped with cheese and any other toppings you desire, such as peppers or onions.
• I also like to add a bit of fajita seasoning to the cheese to give it a little zest.
• Place in 350 Degree oven for 20-30 minutes, depending on how long it takes to melt the cheese.
• Garnish with sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes, or any other desired garnish.

Steps:

• Add the lime juice, 1 tablespoon oil, salt, and pepper in a heavy-duty zip-lock plastic bag; close bag and shake bag to combine.
• Add in the chicken breasts; close bag and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours, turning the bag occasionally.
• Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat the skillet over med-high heat.
• Take chicken breasts from marinade and place in the skillet.
• Cook about 3 minutes or until nicely browned; turn and brown on the other side for about 3 minutes.
• Lower heat to medium and cook until chicken springs back when pressed in the center, about 6 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and cool; chop chicken into ¾-inch bite-sized pieces.
• Heat the remaining oil in a medium saucepan over med heat.
• Add in the onion, red bell pepper, jalapeno, and garlic; cover pan.
• Cook, stirring often, about 6 minutes or until the onion is tender.
• Position oven rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 450°.
• Spread the tortilla chips on an ovenproof platter or pizza pan.
• Top with chicken, then the vegetables, then sprinkle with the cheese.
