I'm surprised this recipe doesn't have more reviews because after having tried my hands at various nachos recipes, this is hands down teh best. I also left out the pepper since I'm not a fan and it was delicious regardless. I like how the layering method is properly explained. Two thumbs up.

This recipe definitely reminded me of the ones at Chili's. The directions were very easy to follow and the prep time was cut down because I used freshly shredded and cooked chicken from our grocery stores deli section. I cut down on the onions, since my family is extremely suspicious of veggies in their food. I however, love veggies. My oldest picked out the small green pepper pieces but other than that both my youngest and him loved them. :)

delicious! I left out the bell pepper and these are some of the tastiest nachos around! I also made homemade flour tortilla chips and that ensured they were large and not broken. :) perfection! thanks for another keeper!
