Who says nachos need to be covered in taco style meat, salsa and cheese?

Let’s think outside the box and play with the concept of chips layered in toppings.

I love flipping a traditional dish on its head by simply taking the same concept and changing the cuisine.

For these chicken nachos, I’m substituting the taco flavored meat for teriyaki chicken, the pico de gallo for coleslaw mix, and the salsa and sour cream for a spicy sriracha mayo.

The result?

Not-chos if you will. Still toppings and chips but totally new and different from the classic.

Ingredients

To make this you’ll need:

  • Teriyaki chicken ingredients– Low sodium soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces.
  • Chips– Instead of tortilla chips, wonton chips give this an Asian inspired base.
  • Toppings– Coleslaw mix, sliced green onions, cilantro, and lime.
  • Sauce ingredients– Full fat real mayonnaise and sriracha.
  • Sesame seeds– For garnish

How to Make

Start by setting up the chicken to marinate.

To do this whisk the soy and teriyaki sauces together into a medium bowl and whisk to combine.

Add in the cut chicken and toss to coat.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes.

Once the chicken has had time to marinate, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes or until cooked through.

Remove from heat and set aside.

Then toss the coleslaw mix, wonton strips, green onions, lime juice and cilantro together in a large bowl.

Add in chicken and toss until combined.

Now make the sriracha mayo by whisking the mayonnaise and sriracha together in a small bowl.

Drizzle the sauce over the top of the mixture and sprinkle more wonton strips and green onions to taste.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds to taste and serve.

Enjoy!

Storing Leftovers

I don’t recommend storing leftovers of this for more than a day. The mix will get soggy if stored too long.

To store it, put it in an airtight container in the fridge.

Tips and Tricks

  • Adjust the heat level to your taste and either add more sriracha or less depending.
  • Not a fan of cilantro? Substitute fresh parsley or omit it all together.
  • Up the veggie factor with strips of bell pepper if you want.
