Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 32(ish) Tequila Lime Baked Tortilla Chips (click for recipe OR use store bought)
  • 6 boneless skinless chicken tenders (cut into small strips)
  • 1 ounce taco seasoning (click for recipe)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon tequila
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup White Queso (click for recipe)
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 cup pico de gallo (click for recipe)
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro (optional)
  • Optional additional toppings: black beans, mexi-corn, jalapenos, refried beans, olives, or anything you love!
  • Garnish ideas: sour cream, avocado, guacamole, salsa, the list goes on and on!

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 350F
  • In a large skillet, heat your oil over medium/high heat
  • Add the chicken into the skillet and toss in the tequila, taco seasoning, and lime juice, Stir to combine. Cook the chicken until fully cooked; about 4-5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Lay the chips on a large sheet pan/cookie sheet sprayed with nonstick spray. Lay them pretty much in a single layer, only slightly overlapping. (I hate when chips get caught underneath and don't get any toppings!)
  • Arrange the chicken and onion over the chips.
  • Drizzle the chips and chicken with the white queso, a little goes a long way. You don't want everything to get soggy.
  • Sprinkle everything with the shredded cheese
  • Top with the pico and cilantro.
  • Bake for approximately 10-15 minutes, rotating halfway through. You want the cheese fully melted and the chips starting to turn brown on the edges.
  • Remove from the oven and top with all your favorites: sour cream, guac, salsa, the works!
  • Enjoy!
