Servings: 6

Nachos
2 cups shredded chicken
Tortilla chips
2 cups Mexican cheese blend

PREPARATION
1. Preheat oven to 400℉/205°C.
2. Heat a small saucepan over medium heat and add the oil and flour. Whisk together and cook gently until it resembles wet sand, about 1 minute.
3. Add the tomato paste and whisk. Add chicken stock, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper. Stir.
4. Bring up to a simmer and cook about 5 minutes until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside. Reserve ½ cup.
5. Toss the shredded chicken with about ½ cup of the reserved sauce.
6. Place a layer of tortilla chips in a skillet or bake dish. Add a layer of cheese and half the chicken mixture. Drizzle some enchilada sauce over the top.
7. Add a second layer of tortilla chips followed by another layer of cheese and the remaining chicken. Drizzle with sauce.
8. Bake for 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted.
9. Top with sour cream, diced tomato, cilantro, and crumbled queso fresco. Serve immediately.
