Crockpot Southwestern Chicken Nachos
I recently found this recipe for Crockpot Southwestern Chicken Nachos from Erin at The Sisters Cafe. It sounded way too easy and tasty so I had to give it a try.
I have added the word nachos on the end of the recipe, because to me, that’s more of what it is. I also have used red kidney beans instead of black beans before and it works just as well. My whole family absolutely loved these.
We did figure out that the way we liked these crockpot southwestern chicken nachos best was when you but cheese on the chips first. Then microwave it so the cheese is melty. Then top it with the chicken mixture followed by all the other toppings.
My boys also got me to try them with nacho cheese sauce in place of the shredded cheese. I think we do favor that version with the nachos cheese sauce a little more. This was so good and it also gets my shockingly simple approval. Thanks Erin for another delicious recipe. It is a staple recipe for my family now. They especially like to eat these while watching football.
