Ingredients

  • One 10-ounce bag sturdy corn chips

  • 2 cups shredded chicken

  • 1/2 cup store-bought mole sauce

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese

  • Thinly sliced fresh and pickled jalapeños, for garnish

  • Shredded red cabbage, for garnish

  • Cilantro leaves, for garnish

  • Salsa and hot sauce, for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°. Spread half the chips in a large cast iron skillet. Top with half the chicken, half of the mole, and half the cheddar cheese. Repeat the remaining ingredients. Bake the nachos for about 8 minutes, until heated through and the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with the cotija, jalapeños, cabbage and cilantro leaves. Serve immediately, passing salsa and hot sauce at the table.

Notes

Many store-bought mole sauces require diluting, so make sure to check the instructions on the label.
