Forget everything you thought you knew about nachos - this is indulgence on a whole new level. A bold twist on a classic, this dish turns a simple sharing snack into the ultimate guilty pleasure. The start of the show? Our rich, creamy peanut butter sauce adds an irresistible, nutty depth.
Equipment Needed
Large baking tray, wok or frying pan, sharp knife, chopping board, jug, whisk, measuring scales
Ingredients
For the nachos:
- 200g lightly salted tortilla chips
- 2 chicken breasts, cooked & shredded
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 red pepper, sliced
- 25g cheddar cheese, grated
- 25g mozzarella cheese, grated
- 6 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- Half a jar of red or green jalapeños, drained
- Fresh coriander, to garnish
For the peanut butter nacho sauce:
- 80g Almost Smooth Peanut Butter
- 1½ tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 120ml water
Method
1.) Preheat your oven to 200°C (fan) and cook the chicken breasts for 25 minutes. Let them cool slightly before shredding.
2.) While the chicken cooks, thinly slice the onion and pepper. Heat a little vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often until softened. Add the pepper, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Season with a pinch of salt.
3.) Time to make your ultimate peanut butter nacho sauce. Simply whisk all the sauce ingredients together in a jug until smooth and pourable.
4.) Preheat your grill to high. On a large baking tray or heatproof plate, scatter the tortilla chips, then layer up with the pepper and onion mix, shredded chicken, and sweet chilli sauce. Sprinkle over the cheeses, add jalapeños, and drizzle generously with your show stopping peanut sauce.
5.) Pop under the grill for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Careful - it'll be HOT!
6.) Finish with chopped coriander and a sprinkle of peanuts then dig in. Messy, moreish, and completely addictive!
Recipe Notes
You can also heat the nachos in the microwave - blast in 30-second bursts until the cheese is melted and gooey.
