Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker preparation.
- For extra spice, add serrano peppers or more sriracha.
- For a sweeter flavor, add extra sweet chili sauce or a drizzle of honey to the chicken mixture.
- Add black beans, corn, or pickled onions for extra texture and flavor.
- The wonton chips can be baked instead of fried for a lighter version.
- Store leftover chicken separately from the chips to maintain crispiness.
- Refrigerate the chicken mixture for up to 4 days.
- Fully assembled nachos are best enjoyed immediately.
