Preparation

Step 1

To make the chicken, combine chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Generously rub mixture onto chicken breasts. Grill or broil until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.

Make the queso by combining the cream of chicken soup, diced chilis and diced tomatoes with green chilis in a large saucepan over medium heat. Heat, stirring occasionally, until just bubbly. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese and a dash of pepper and cook until cheese is melted. Arrange tortilla chips on a plate or platter. Top with a generous amount of the queso, then some chicken. Add additional toppings, such as sour cream, beans, chopped tomato, shredded cheese, etc. to suit your tastes. Serve warm.

Have you ever had the three cheese nachos at Qdoba? If not, you should do so immediately. Or make these nachos, which are my attempt to recreate the Qdoba version. If you want something a bit more simple, the queso is pretty good on it's own, with some tortilla chips, of course. I like to pile my nachos high with black beans, tomato, sour cream, green onion and a handful of shredded cheese. Enjoy!
