Expert Tips

This recipe is very versatile. Serve it as a fun appetizer, a hearty after-school snack for a group of kids or as a main dish.

For Skillet Beef Nachos, substitute 1 1/4 lb ground beef for the chicken. In step 1, cook beef 5 to 7 minutes or until thoroughly cooked. Drain and proceed as directed.
