Chicken Nachos

Everyone needs a go-to nacho recipe. Change this chicken version by using leftover shredded pork or brisket, and barbecue sauce instead of salsa. —Crystal Bruns, Iliff, Colorado

    Great with blue tortilla chips. I poached about 1 1/2 lbs chicken first, then shredded it with 2 forks. I omitted the chopped onion & oil, then added garlic & taco seasoning & salsa. After baking, I topped with tomatoes & fresh spinach.- Theresa
