Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    When you’re in a hurry and need your BBQ chicken nachos stat, use a package of frozen diced cooked chicken, which you can thaw quickly in the microwave.
  • tip 2
    Feel free to use leftover shredded roast beef or cooked ground beef in place of the chicken in this BBQ chicken nacho recipe.
