RECIPE: Chicken Fajita Nachos

So, for today’s recipe I’m sharing a super easy nacho recipe that is one of my favorites.

I love anything Mexican, it’s probably pretty close to being my favorite type of food. And almost every time we go to have Mexican food, I will order the fajita nachos – sometimes chicken, sometimes steak, depending on my mood. When I was pregnant I didn’t have any of my nacho fajitas while dining out because I had to watch what kind of cheese I had (pasteurized, etc.). So I decided I would make them at home!

So … here’s how I make this. It’s super easy!

All you need is a pound of chicken breast (or steak) a green pepper, red pepper and onion, 1 packet of fajita seasoning, tortilla chips and cheddar cheese.

Chop up the chicken (or steak) chop up a green pepper, red pepper and onion. Heat up some oil in a large skillet and add the chicken and veggies. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies have softened. Add the fajita seasoning and the water that it calls for on the packaging. Stir it all up and let the flavors blend for a few minutes. Meanwhile, place the nacho chips on two plates and add some cheddar cheese. Heat for about 30 seconds in the microwave to melt the cheese. Divide the meat mixture between the plates and add some more cheddar cheese and microwave another 30 seconds to melt.

Voila. You have a delicious and quick weeknight meal. And it’s definitely one of my absolute favorites!!!
