Christmas Wreath Nachos

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken cooked and chopped
  • 12 oz bag Christmas colored tortilla chips
  • 16 oz can refried beans
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/2 cup guacamole
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • chopped toppings like green onions jalapenos, and tomatoes

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 400°F.
  • Line a baking sheet or round pizza pan with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Add cooked chicken to a bowl and mix with the salsa.
  • Arrange half the chips on the baking sheet in a large circle "wreath".
  • Top with half the chicken, half the refried beans, and 1 cup shredded cheese.
  • Add the other chips on top then add remaining chicken, beans, and cheese.
  • Bake for 5 minutes, until cheese is melted and chips are heated.
  • Now add scoops (I used a small ice cream scoop) of guacamole and sour cream "ornaments".
  • Sprinkle on toppings like green onions, tomatoes, onions, and jalapeñoes.
  • Serve immediately while still warm and dig in!

Notes

This is a great recipe for using up leftover chicken or Rotisserie chicken. It's also tasty with shredded pork or beef. 

This is a great recipe for using up leftover chicken or Rotisserie chicken. It’s also tasty with shredded pork or beef. 

I found these festive colored tortilla chips at Aldi and World Market. 

Arrange half the chips on a lined baking sheet or pizza pan in a large circle “wreath”. 

Add cooked chicken to a bowl and mix with the salsa. 

Top with half the chicken, half the refried beans, and 1 cup shredded cheese. 
Add the other chips on top.

Add the other chips on top then add remaining chicken, beans, and cheese. 

Bake for 5 minutes at 400 degrees, until cheese is melted and chips are heated.

Now add scoops (I used a small ice cream scoop) of guacamole and sour cream “ornaments”. 

Sprinkle on toppings like green onions, tomatoes, onions, and jalapeñoes.

Serve immediately while still warm and dig in!

🍽 Yesterday we enjoyed lunch at NCAL+H2O, an upscale seafood gem of a restaurant in downtown Rolla. It was a delicious meal and everything this Florida girl has been craving! 
🐟 We started with an order of amazing Tuna Poke Nachos then shared a Grilled Shrimp Club sandwich with fries and a tasty salad with house garlic parm dressing. We couldn't stop there so we also split a bowl of cioppino, which was chock full of fresh seafood. Next time I want to try their Parmesan Halibut or Seafood Pasta! 
❤ If you are looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate an anniversary or have a quiet date night (or day date like us) check out @saltwaterrollamo ! 
⭐ Lunch was courtesy of @rolladowntown.  I was a winner of $100 in downtown dollars in their Tis the Season of Giving contest!

🥡 We tried @doordash for the first time during our stay in Branson tonight. It really saved us time and energy running around town and delivery was free! We ordered ramen, bi bim bap, and lo mein from a local Asian restaurant called Noodle 21. It was delish! Check them out if you are in the area and send me a message if you want a referral for $5 off to try #doordash ! @noodle21branson #eatlocal #branson #takeoutfood #whatsfordinner

It is pizza night and it’s @caseys to the rescue! After a busy week this tired Mama needed an easy dinner. Luckily Casey’s has tasty pizza to go and I ordered right on the app. Our fresh made Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza was ready for store pickup in no time. Check out Casey’s new free curbside, available at most stores, and enjoy an easy and delicious Casey’s pizza night too! #sponsored #CaseysCurbside

Road trip time and #CaseysCurbside saved the day! We stopped at @caseys and stocked up on some supplies, including my favorite pretzels and juice from their new line of Casey’s favorites, before we were on our way. I love that I can order right on Caseys.com or via their app and pickup using their free and easy curbside. #sponsored

We drove out to Marshfield today and made a few Route 66 stops including the Missouri Welcome Center in Conway with it's Route 66 themed picnic area and downtown Marshfield with the murals and Hubble telescope replica. Love all the cool places to see in Missouri! 🚗 #route66 #Missouri #marshfield #exploremore #travelgram #roadtrip
