Chicken Enchilada Nachos

Leftover Chicken? Turkey? Meat of any kind?  Try these Enchilada Nachos.  Cheesy, crunchy, and packed with flavor.  Get your own.

Every now and then I open the fridge to find a pile of leftovers staring me down and a lack of creativity sparking any amazing ideas. And then I remember, it’s the good recipes with messy melty cheesy and hot sauce that really really make a good night. Those nights when plates and forks be damned, just put a trivet on the communal table and dig in. No double dipping in the salsa though.

No one likes a double dipper.
