Friday night we had the Cakebreads over for dinner and a movie (we watched "Outsourced"- great movie! Ron and I love it!). We wanted "Friday night movie night food" but I didn't feel like doing anything too fancy because well.. it was a work day, plus I had a super long doctors apt and I still am not feeling 100% yet. So I whipped up these BBQ chicken nachos! I don't like cooking chicken (or most meats for that matter) if I can help it. So I sometimes buy a rotisserie chicken from Stop & Shop and take the skin off and chop up that meat. It's a huge time saver! And honestly- it's a great deal! On Fridays they are only like $5 or something like that!
Usually I make my own BBQ from scratch when I'm making a BBQ chicken dish. But I instead did a dr'ed up bottled sauce. I buy Sweet Baby Ray's and add to it. I added some tomato paste, liquid smoke, honey, smokey paprika, garlic and Montreal's BBQ seasoning. I mixed it all together in a small pot and added the shredded chicken and warmed it.
Preheat the oven to 350. Drain a can of black beans and a can of corn (I go through so much canned beans and corn in this house! What a time saver they are!!). FINELY chop a red onion. I use fat free cheese when it's just Ron and I but not everyone likes that. So I mixed fat free cheddar and low fat mexican blend together since we had guests. Get all these things in small bowls and ready to assemble. Plate a layer of corn chips (baked not fried if you can!) and top with beans, corn, onions, chicken and cheese. Repeat a second layer. Then top with sliced jalapeno rings and bake! Serve with a dallop of low fat sour cream and a selection of salsas. (we like Trader Joe's pineapple salsa and their habanero lime salsa)
We made a salad and called it a night! Time to go put your feet up, put on your snuggie and enjoy your movie! (wait- I'm being serious! If you don't have a snuggie.. you need one!!)
