Equipment

  • sheet pan

Ingredients

  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1 1/2 tbsp water
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 3/4 cup shredded chicken (see note!)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced thin
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut corn tortillas into four pieces to make chips. Toss with olive oil. Season with lots of salt on both sides. Bake about 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Turn over halfway through cooking when they start to brown. (They will crisp up more as they cool.)
  • While the chips bake, whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey and water together in a small bowl. Set aside. 
  • To assemble, layer half of the chips on the bottom of a 1/4 sheet pan. Sprinkle with half of the carrots, chicken, red pepper and finally the cheese. Sprinkle with a few green onions. Drizzle with a little bit of peanut sauce. Layer the rest of the chips on top, followed by the carrots, chicken, red pepper, green onions and cheese. Bake until cheese has melted.
  • When the nachos come out of the oven, drizzle with more peanut sauce and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with leftover peanut sauce.
