These aren't your weird, orange cheesy nachos. No, sir! Buffalo Chicken Nachos are fun and different... and a little bit fancy! Just drizzle some ranch or blue cheese dressing over them and you've got comfort food that's sure to impress anyone.

Buffalo Chicken Nachos are not your typical (heavy, greasy) nachos. Dare I say, they're healthy! Romaine lettuce lowers cholesterol. Grape tomatoes and celery contain minerals that help lower blood pressure. The potassium contained within them helps your heart function by relaxing blood vessel walls. Heart healthy nachos, anyone?
If you want to make even healthier nachos, serve the chicken over rice or lettuce leaves.

-
corn tortilla chips

cheddar cheese

grape tomatoes

Pro Tips...
Thin and crispy tortilla chips keep these nachos tasting light and refreshing. However, they tend to break under the weight of the toppings. So, you may prefer a thicker chip.
Leave off the blue cheese if you don’t care for it. Buffalo Chicken Nachos taste amazing with or without it!
Before serving, drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing to give your nachos some extra zip.
