Indian Style Chicken Nachos

Nachos are a Northern Mexican dish consisting of tortilla chips covered with meat and cheese based sauce. Though nachos are mainly served as a snack, it can be served as a fulfilling main dish if the ingredients added on the top of tortillas are more in quantity. Since I love nachos very much, I decided to try it out at home using Indian spices. Hope you all will like my version of nachos.

For Putting Together Chicken and Nachos

Method


1) In order to prepare the chicken, first mix in tandoori masala, chaat masala, black pepper powder, lemon juice, yogurt, garlic powder and salt, and rub the chicken in this mixture. Put aside for 10 minutes. 

2) Heat oil in a non-stick pan and then add the chicken pieces. Shallow fry the chicken on medium heat until the chicken turns tender. Turn the heat off. 

3) Now preheat oven to 375 degree F. 

4) In an oven safe dish, arrange the nachos creating a base and then spoon half of the chicken preparation evenly over the nachos. Add half of the julienned onions, half of the chopped tomatoes, salamis, and half of the chopped capsicums. Add shredded cheese, pepperonis and half of the chopped coriander leaves. 

5) Again make another layer of nachos and then repeat the above process mentioned under instruction 4.
