These were shown on the Food Network channel. They looked so yummy that I'm going to make them for the Super Bowl. Serve with sour cream and guacamole. To save time buy a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.

This is a "dash in the pan" dish that's always a hit. The spicy nachos have plenty of chicken and two kinds of beans, so they make a filling snack. -Karen Horning, Rockford, Illinois
