These Italian Nachos are deeeeeelicious. That’s all I have to say.
To make them, you’ll need: a bag of tortilla chips, 4 small tomatoes, 10 pepperoncinis, 2 jalapenos, 1 can chopped olives, 1 lb diced chicken, 1 lb Italian sausage, 1/2 lb shredded mozzarella cheese, and a jar of Alfredo sauce.
You don’t have to chop your veggies really fine, if you don’t want to. You can just slice them (olives, tomatoes, pepperoncinis, jalapenos) and throw them on top of your nachos. But, since my whole family is anti-chunk, I decided to chop everything super tiny and mix it together, like a salsa-type-thing.
Salsa-type-thing…no huge chunks…just the way we like it.
Heat the oven to 350. Cook up the chicken.
Cook up the sausage.
While I’m feeling anti-chunk, I decided I wanted my chicken pieces really tiny too. Tinier than diced.
Warm up a bowl of Alfredo sauce.
Fill a plate, or a platter, with tortilla chips. Top with loads of mozzarella cheese, the chicken, sausage, and salsa-type-thing (a.k.a. veggies), and pop in the 350 degree oven until the cheese is melted. Drizzle some Alfredo sauce over the top, or serve it in a dipping cup on the side.
