Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 Tbsp coconut oil in skillet
  2. Sprinkle paprika over chicken breasts and cook in skillet for approx. 3 mins each side until thoroughly cooked
  3. While chicken is cooking, spread chips out flat on a baking sheet or serving tray
  4. Heat 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil in separate skillet
  5. Cut up 1/2 both red and green bell peppers and jalapeno into strips, dice shallot, and saute in skillet until tender
  6. Mash 1 avocado in bowl and add lime juice if using
  7. Cut the other avocado into thin slices

  9. Sprinkle peppers, jalapeño pepper, and shallot over top
  10. Scoop mashed avocado into center or tray and sprinkle the avocado slices evenly
  11. Heat cashew nacho cheese according to directions on jar and drizzle over top of chips

Notes

Note 1 :  If serving for a crowd, wait until you are ready to eat to layer on the toppings over chips

Note 2 :  If you want super crispy nachos, bake the tray in a oven at 350 F for about 3 mins with all the toppings

Note 3: Ground beef also pairs well with this recipe in place of chicken (or, in addition to, if you want SUPER loaded nachos).
