Nellie's Chicken Nachos

Hello Sweet Friends,

Hope this day find you doing well.

We had an unexpected but great day.

We wound up having lil darling as she

wasn't feeling great, but other than her

tummy hurting a couple of times did

fine. We also had a Drs. appt. for hubby 

late in the afternoon, which is about

a 50 min. drive, so met our daughter-

in-love on the way to hand off lil

darling, then proceeding on to his

appt.  which went well,  he still has

to get an echocardiogram tho. Then

we went to a Traders Joe's store,

always heard about them, but never

have been to one, so that was fun and

new adventure that we both enjoyed.

 Then since we had gift

cards that we got back in March for

our birthdays, we saved them so we

could go to "Cheesecake Factory"

for din din. It is about an hour away

from us, so we usually go there when

hubs has a Dr. appt., cause they are

close in proximity.  It was a very

nice time, and we even splurged

on Cheesecake, but we got it to go.

So as soon as I am finished with

this post, and hubby does some-

thing for work, we are gonna

have it with some fresh coffee.

um um, can hardly wait.

Last week I made nachos for dinner

and hubby liked them so much he

said you need to write that down

so you always remember every-

thing you put in them, so I said

yea, I was thinking about that too,

cause I also like to have some of

my fav recipes on my blog so my

daughter can get to them, and maybe 

if my son ever wants them,  they can 

find them, as well,  and of course, I

thought yall might like to try them

too, cause they are easy and quite

tasty.

Nellie's Chicken Nachos

(Didn't think to take a picture
last week when I made them,
as I didn't know I would be doing
a post on them, but the next time I
 make them, I will take one to add
 to this post. lol)

Ingredients

White corn chips - (I used Tositos

but you can use any you like)

Black Beans, (rinsed and drained)

I used about 3/4 of a can, but you

can use as much or as little as you

would like.

Bumble Bee Chicken Breast with rib

 meat packed in water (rinsed and drained) 

or Rotisserie chicken.....I have used both

 and they both work well.

4 oz. of  Cheddar Cheese (Shredded)

4 oz. Colby and Monterey Jack Cheese

 (shredded)

 Scallions (some people called the green

onions (Sliced) I put about 3 scallions

sliced up, but you can use as many or 

as lil as you like)

Black Olives (Sliced)

Sour Cream , I used light sour cream.

Guacamole,  I make my own, it's

very easy.

Fresh Tomatoes (Chopped)

Fresh Cilantro (chopped)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Use a large cookie sheet and spread

out the white corn chips throughout

the cookie sheet. Approximately half

the bag or enough that it is totally

covered.

Then  put the black beans in a 

colander and rinse them, and then

let them drain for a few minutes. Once

drained layer them onto of your chips.

Next put the chicken (if using the 

canned chicken) in a colander and

rinse and drain it as well.  Then let

drain for a few minutes and break 

the chicken into shredded chicken

and layer on top of the chips and

black beans.  If using Rotisserie

chicken,  just cut it into bite size

pcs. and layer on top of the chips

and black beans.

Next layer the chopped scallions,

then add the cheeses,  as much or

as lil as you would like....

Then add the sliced black olives

 and the chopped cilantro on top.

Put the pan in the 350 degree oven

for about 20 mins. or until the

cheese is melted well. Take out

of oven and let it sit for about 5

mins., then serve.

Top with sour cream, guacamole',

and fresh tomatoes. You can also

use salsa if you like......

My Guacamole

1 avocado

cilantro

about 6 grape tomatoes

cut in small pieces

Lemon Juice

Granulated Garlic or

garlic powder. I really don't know

 how much, so maybe just put a half

tsp. and then after you stir it up if

 you need more just add according

 to your liking.

Cut avocado in half  and take

seed out,  then scoop avocado

out of shell and smash up with

a fork,  put in the chopped

grapes tomatoes and chopped

cilantro, sprinkle on the garlic

powder and a few squeezes

of lemon juice and stir it up

good, then taste test it to see

if you like the amount of

garlic and cilantro.

Happy Eating!!

Hope you enjoy it....

Now I am going to enjoy

my cheese cake.........lol

Thanks for dropping by,

Have a great rest of the week.

Love, Hugs and Mid July

Blessings,
