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).
