SPICY NACHOS

Category: Hot

Spicy Cheese Sauce:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
4 cups coarsely grated pepper jack
1 teaspoon prepared mustard or whole-grain mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Nachos:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked
1 cup your favorite barbecue sauce
8 cups tortilla chips (about 1 large bag)
1 cup chopped pickled jalapenos
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup sour cream or nonfat Greek yogurt

For the sauce: In medium saucepan over medium heat, add the butter, garlic and jalapeno. Saute for 3 minutes, and then sprinkle in the flour. Cook, stirring frequently, until you create a blond roux, about 5 minutes. Add the milk, cheese and mustard and use a whisk to stir all together. Season with salt and pepper and let cook for 5 minutes on low.

For the nachos: Shred the chicken and place into a medium bowl. Pour in the barbecue sauce and mix well to combine. Arrange the tortilla chips on a platter and spread the chicken over the chips. Pour the warm cheese sauce over the top and sprinkle with the jalapenos and cilantro. Garnish with dollops of the sour cream. Serves 4
