Loaded “Nacho” Chicken Tostada
Loaded “Nacho” Chicken TostadaPerfect for lunch or dinner with a side salad. To make this kid-friendly leave the jalapenos out. I made them with grilled chicken but they would also great with leftover chicken. More of my favorite ways to make loaded nachos or “nachos” are Jalapeno Popper “Nachos”, Greek Nachos and Loaded Nachos with Turkey, Beans and Cheese.
