Jerk Chicken Nachos - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 cups tortilla chips
3 cups shredded cooked chicken
2 cups marbled cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons jamaican jerk spice, divided
1 red bell pepper
1 lime
2 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup sour cream, plus
1 teaspoon additional jamaican jerk spice (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425\u00b0F (220\u00b0C). Arrange tortilla chips in a slightly overlapping layer on a cookie sheet.
In a bowl, combine chicken, cheese and 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the jerk spice; mix gently.
Sprinkle chicken mixture evenly over tortilla chips.
Bake 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted; remove.
Meanwhile, dice bell pepper. Cut lime in half crosswise.
Squeeze the juice from 1 half of lime into a small bowl -- add remaining jerk rub and bell pepper and mix well.
Snip cilantro using Kitchen Shears. Slice remaining lime half into garish slices.
Spoon bell pepper mixture over nachos; sprinkle evenly with cilantro.
If desired, combine sour cream and additional jerk rub in resealable plastic bag; trim corner to allow sour cream to flow through. Pipe sour cream mixture over nachos.
Garnish with lime slices.
