that's all i have to say. i was hungover the other day (5th of july lol) and saw a pic in one of our take out menus for buffalo chicken nachos... and they looked awesome! i wanted them so badly! after dedicating an amount of time (this could have been 5 minutes it could have been hours, i do not know lol) to pinterest to find a recipe that was everything i was looking for in buffalo chicken nachos and not having anything turn up we actually wound up ordering them (this is big for us... i cant tell you the last time that we ate out that wasn't pizza!) well anyways, they didnt hit the spot. i kept thinking about how they could be better if this or that was on there... anyways i decided that i should make my own! we had a few leftover boneless wings from when we ordered out so i reheated them and cut them into chunks. (i know, i know...i cheated) i do have a great boneless buffalo wing recipe that i will now have to get on making soon so i can post it here so that i can redeem myself lol)
these could probably also be called garbage nachos cuz it seems like i just kept adding to them. i threw this in the microwave for a couple minutes and was done with it (it is still way too hot in this heat wave to even attempt to turn the oven on)
anyways, these were awesome and i have a feeling that i will be making them again really soon- they combine boneless buffalo wings and nachos- which just happens to be two of my hubby's and my favorite things!
buffalo chicken nachos
1/4 cup salsa con queso
1/2 cup chili beans
3/4 cup shredded mexican blend cheese, divided (i use mexican cheese for everything, you can easily substitute)
10 boneless buffalo wings, cut into small chunks (fresh or reheated if using leftovers)
1/2 head romaine lettuce, shredded
3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional)
1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
guacamole to taste (optional)
blue cheese dressing to taste (optional)
layer chips, salsa con queso, chili beans and 1/2 cup cheese. microwave for 1 to 2 minutes depending on the strength of your microwave*- this is to heat beans and melt cheese.
Add heated buffalo wing chunks and top with remaining cheese. microwave for 30 seconds.**
Top with lettuce, crumbled bacon, blue cheese crumbles and guacamole. You can add blue cheese dressing on top or keep on the side to dip!
*you can use your oven if you are against microwaves (i try not to use it whenever possible). I would preheat the oven to 350 degrees and follow the same directions, warming the nachos for 20 to 30 minutes. **if you are using the oven and using leftover wings, i would cut them up cold and put them on top and throw everything in the oven at the same time, leaving out this step (if that makes sense)
