Perfect for the big game or for any night of the week you have leftover chicken - Cast Iron Chicken and Black Bean Nachos are on the table in a snap!
We all want to step up our chicken game - when we buy a rotisserie chicken or cook up a bunch at a time, we need new ideas on how to cook it. My Cast Iron Chicken and Black Bean Nachos are a fun way to have the kids help you with dinner (and there is cheese involved!)
Kids having friends over? Nachos! Planning a big game party and need something easy to serve? Hello nachos! Switch out chicken for steak, make a vegetarian version with more beans, add spicy shredded pork for a kick, or keep it simple and garnish with sour cream and salsa. Cast iron is one of my favorite ways to cook, heats evenly and keeps your food nice and hot - and when serving nachos, you want to make sure that cheese is melted just right….
Any night of the week is a good night for nachos! Make a big batch and serve at your Big Game party! Cast Iron… Click To Tweet
