Copycat Fiesta Chicken Nachos Recipe

Have you ever eaten Copycat Fiesta Chicken Nachos?!

The week after Christmas we took a little vacation to Las Vegas – it was fun to get away with our family, play lots and lots of pickleball, and eat out to our hearts content.

We ate at one restaurant called Nacho Daddy that was my nacho-loving-pregnant-heart’s dream come TRUE! This recipe is a take on their Fiesta Nachos, and it was a fast favorite at our house!

Ingredients needed for Copycat Fiesta Chicken Nachos:

• 5 ounces golden corn tortilla chips
• 5 ounces blue corn tortilla chips
• ½ sweet onion diced
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 cup refried beans divided
• 1½ cups grilled chicken cubed
• 3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 1 cup pico de gallo
• ½ cup sour cream
• ½ cup guacamole
• chopped cilantro for topping

How to make these delicious Copycat Fiesta Chicken Nachos:

We started with a layer of blue and gold corn tortilla chips, then topped them with sautéed onions, refried beans, grilled chicken, and Mexican blend cheese.

Then I added a second layer of chips, onions, beans, chicken, and cheese, and melted them to perfection. Before serving, I topped them with pico de gallo, drizzled sour cream, guacamole, and cilantro.
