Buffalo Chicken Nachos
Protein-packed, fiery and addictive, these Buffalo nachos are a heat lover’s dream!
Ingredients
Nachos
- ⅓ to ½ cup hot sauce
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken, packed
- 8 to 10 ounces tortilla chips
- 1⅓ to 2 cups shredded 2% reduced-fat Mexican blend cheese
Topping
- ½ cup low-fat or non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 3 to 5 tablespoons hot sauce, more to taste
- 3 to 4 scallions, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚F.
- In a medium bowl, mix the hot sauce with the shredded chicken until well coated. Set aside.
- Place the tortilla chips in an even layer on a baking sheet, face side up so the chips will hold the toppings. Add the chicken evenly over the chips, followed by the cheese. Bake in the oven for 8 minutes until the cheese is melty and the corners of the chips start to turn golden brown.
To make the Buffalo sauce topping:
- In a small bowl, combine the yogurt and hot sauce. When the nachos come out of the oven, drizzle the sauce over the warm melty cheese and garnish with scallions. For extra heat, drizzle straight hot sauce over the topping. Serve immediately.
