Game day buffalo chicken nachos



This past Sunday was game day....however I really don't follow it like the rest of my family does.  My mom, my hubs, and my son were all watching the Dolphins verse.....I think the Jets, I'm shocked that I even knew that! and they were all "starving" "withering away to nothing" so they said! So I whipped up something easy peasy for them.  This is when I threw open my fridge door and found some leftover buffalo chicken that we had picked up from the market, and saw some tortilla chips; and then I had an epiphany to make the nachos.  These are super easy to make and take very little effort.  Put it this way...if your able to slap some things on top of some chips, well then this one is for you!.  Enjoy! Happy eating!


Ingredients:

1 bag of Tortilla chips ( I used blue tortilla chips)

Pre-cooked buffalo chicken from the market (  the chicken already warmed through preferably )

1/2 cup Buttermilk ranch dressing

15 ounce can Black beans

30 ounce can of re-fried beans  (drained and rinsed)

1/2 Diced sweet onion

Sour cream  (a dollop; which is about 1 tablespoon)

1 Diced tomatoes

4 Chives

2 cups of shredded Mexican cheese

Hot sauce of your choice (Just a drizzle)


Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Coat bottom of pan with re-fried beans. Next put tortilla chips on top of the re-fried beans.  Scatter onions and black beans on top of chips then scatter cheese. Next top chips and other ingredients with cut up buffalo chicken strips. Then drizzle the ranch dressing and hot sauce over the chicken and chips.  Next place the pan filled with the chicken, chips and all the fixings inside the oven to bake at 400 degrees for about 10-15 minutes; to warm through beans, onions and ranch dressing.  When you are done warming the nachos, top with a dollop of sour cream,  chopped chives, and  diced tomato.  Serve hot and enjoy.
