A vibrant and flavorful twist on classic nachos, featuring lime-marinated chicken and fresh toppings.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
Cutting the chicken into uniform pieces ensures even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the juice of the limes, chili powder, cumin, black pepper, and olive oil. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Marinating the chicken enhances its flavor and tenderness.
While the chicken is marinating, dice the red onion and tomatoes. Cook the corn in a skillet until slightly charred. Combine these in a bowl with a pinch of salt to make the salsa.
Charring the corn adds a smoky flavor to the salsa.
Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken pieces until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Ensure the chicken is cooked through but not overdone to keep it juicy.
Arrange the tortilla chips on a serving platter. Top with the cooked chicken, salsa, and shredded cheese.
Layering the ingredients evenly ensures every bite is flavorful.
Serve the nachos immediately while the cheese is still melted and the chips are crispy.
Serve with a side of guacamole or sour cream for added flavor.
