Smoked BBQ Chicken Nachos

Well, it's that time of year again...the weekend when the most grilling/BBQ/smoking happens more than any other time of the year.  I also heard today that the average person eats twice as much during an outdoor event, than if they were eating indoors...hmm.

I don't know about that because we tried out these BBQ nachos a couple weeks ago, ate them inside and I could have inhaled them all by myself, they were that awesome!!  If memory serves me, I believe I was even referred to as "Cronk" at one point during the night...can't say it wasn't well deserved.

We started with using taco seasoning blend, and grilling boneless, skinless chicken breasts.

Let chicken cool.  Chop into diced, bite size portions.  Coat with your favorite BBQ sauce.  

We are partial to Stubb's Original BBQ Sauce.

  

Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with a non-stick spray.  Spread a layer of tortilla chips.  Add a layer of Mexican four cheese shredded blend.  Top with the bbq sauce coated chicken.

Add another layer of the shredded cheese.

*This next step can be done in your oven at 350 degrees for about 20-30 minutes 

(or until cheese has completely melted).

We used our Traeger Grill at 350 degrees for 30 minutes (turning them around, half way through), so they got equal heat and they were positively amazing.

Add your favorite toppings and serve.

We included diced tomatoes, diced avocados and green onions and sour cream.

Enjoy and have a safe and relaxing Labor Day Weekend.
