In this recipe tortilla chips are topped with cajun seasoned chicken and our favorite Italian inspired cheese blend and baked until bubbly. It’s all topped off with a finely shredded caesar salad for the perfect snack or dinner!
Ingredients for Caesar Salad Nachos
Chicken: Use chicken breasts or chicken cutlets in this recipe. I season with cajun seasoning but blackened seasoning works too. Tortilla Chips: Use plain salted (unflavored tortilla chips). Cheese: Any Italian blend, including pre-grated cheese, works well. Lettuce: Romaine lettuce is crisp, fresh, and holds up well to the warm nachos. Dressing: If time allows, make my shortcut Caesar salad dressing—the flavor is much better than bottled dressing.
Tips for Great Nachos
You can replace Cajun chicken with rotisserie chicken or any leftover cooked chicken. Instead of shredding your cheese, you can use pre-shredded cheese and swap the Italian blend for pizza mozzarella if you prefer. To save time, use a Caesar salad kit – it includes the dressing and lettuce. If your kit has bacon bits, add them to the nachos before baking! If you don’t enjoy spicy food, feel free to season the chicken with any spices you like.
