How to make skillet nachos:
- I like to use restaurant style tortilla chips but you could definitely use any kind your would like.
- Using rotisserie chicken really speeds up the process of making these nachos. Basically you throw everything together and pop it into the oven.
- I went heavy on the buffalo sauce but you could cut back if you are not into anything that is too spicy.
- Using a mixture of cheeses makes these buffalo chicken skillet nachos super cheesy. I really like a colby jack mixture.
- My skillet is the small size. Which is 6 inch but you could use any size. You would just need to increase the quantities of your ingredients!
