Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

4 small russet potatoes, (about 3-4 inches long and 2 inches wide), scrubbed
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more to taste
½ stick unsalted butter, melted
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
½ cup Frank's RedHot® Buffalo Wings Sauce
⅓ cup unsalted butter
½ teaspoon McCormick® cayenne pepper
1 ½ teaspoons distilled white vinegar
2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
1 teaspoon McCormick® Garlic Powder
½ cup chicken broth
1 ½ cups shredded mexican cheese blend, divided
2 roma tomatoes
½ red onion, diced
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
lime, juiced
1 cup guacamole
¼ cup blue cheese dressing
fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Pierce all over with a fork. Rub with 1 tablespoon canola oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Bake the potatoes for 60-70 minutes, until they are soft enough to gently squeeze with an oven mitt. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let sit for 15-20 minutes, until cool enough to handle.
  • Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides, leaving a ⅛-inch-thick border of potato flesh around the edges. Cut each piece in half again lengthwise and once more crosswise to create 2-inch-long triangles.
  • Arrange the potato triangles skin-side-up in a single layer on the baking sheet and brush with the melted butter. Flip skin-side-down and brush the insides with melted butter, then season with salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the insides are golden brown. Flip the potatoes skin-side-up again and bake for 8-10 minutes more, until the skins are crispy.
  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the buffalo sauce and butter. Microwave for 30-60 seconds, until the butter is melted. Whisk well to combine. Add the cayenne and white vinegar and whisk to combine.
  • Season the chicken breasts on both sides with 1 teaspoon salt, pepper to taste, and the garlic powder.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon of canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chicken breasts and cook without moving until browned, 4-5 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until browned on the other side. Pour in the chicken broth, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes more, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  • Transfer the chicken to a medium bowl and shred with an electric hand mixer on medium-low speed, 1-2 minutes. (Alternatively, use 2 forks to shred the chicken.) Add the buffalo sauce and ½ cup shredded Mexican cheese and mix to combine.
  • Make the pico de gallo: In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, salt, pepper, and lime juice and stir to combine.
  • Set the broiler to high.
  • Arrange the potato wedges around the edges and over the bottom of an 8-inch cast-iron skillet. Top with the buffalo chicken and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese on top.
  • Broil the nachos for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  • Top the nachos with guacamole, the pico de gallo, blue cheese dressing, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!
