Restaurant-Style Chicken Nachos - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 -2 tablespoon fresh minced garlic
    10 green onions, chopped (keep the white and green separated)
    3 tablespoons vegetable oil
    3 cups cooked chicken breasts (shredded or chopped)
    2 -3 tablespoons taco seasoning mix (I just use 1/2 package)
    black pepper (to taste)
    2 -3 cups prepared salsa (mild, medium or spicy)
    0.5 (12 ounce) package blue corn tortilla chips
    2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese (or use cheddar cheese or a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack)
    2 plum tomatoes, chopped
    1 cup sliced olive (use black or green)
    sour cream (optional and to taste)
Preparation
    Set oven to 350 degrees F.
    In a medium skillet over medium heat stir together the garlic with the white parts only of the green onions in oil until tender (about 2-3 minutes).
    Turn heat to low then add in cooked chicken and with taco seasoning; mix until coated in the oil.
    Stir in the salsa; mix until combined; remove from heat and season with a little black pepper.
    Arrange the tortillas on a large baking sheet in a large round.
    Spoon the chicken mixture over the chips, then sprinkle with the shredded cheese and chopped tomato (or if desired you can add on the tomatoes after baking).
    Bake in a 350 degree F oven for about 8-10 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
    Sprinkle with the green parts of onions and olives and dollop with sour cream if desired.
    Delicious!
