These saucy bbq chicken nachos are my go-to recipe when I need a quick appetizer to serve for game day. They take less than 20 minutes to make, are a real crowd pleaser and taste like nachos out of your favorites sports bar.
Why you’ll love these bbq chicken nachos
- Made with rotisserie chicken: my secret trick for super speedy nachos is using a small container of pulled rotisserie chicken (I get mine from Albertsons) or about a 1lb of any pulled rotisserie chicken.
- Quick recipe: you’ll have nachos on the table in less than 25 minutes! While the cheese is melting in the oven, prep all of your fresh toppings (cilantro, onions, jalapenos, avocado, etc) and everything will be ready right on time.
- Super flavorful: Not only are these chicken nachos swimming in bbq sauce, they’re made with sharp cheddar cheese, creamy black beans and topped with a medley of fresh toppers for extra crunch and flavor
- Perfect with a cold cocktail: pair these with a round of juicy pomegranate margaritas for the perfect game day entertaining combo
