I’d had the idea to incorporate buffalo chicken into a nacho dish in my head for some time, but never got around to executing it. Not long after, a recipe popped up in my reader and I knew it was a sign.
A sign from the buffalo chicken gods.
The same buffalo chicken gods that brought me these wontons and this calzone.
Thank you buffalo chicken gods.
Buffalo Chicken Nachos
Servings vary
Baked Layered Buffalo Chicken Nachos
Ingredients
-
1 bag of tortilla chips
-
8 ounces of shredded chicken, covered with buffalo sauce
-
1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
-
1/2 cup crumbled bleu cheese
-
1/2 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce (or more)
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- sliced avocado for garnish
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 450.

Cover baking dish with a layer of nachos
-
Top with chicken, cheese, buffalo sauce. Continue layering. Bake for 5-10 minutes, until cheese melts. Drizzle additional wing sauce over top and garnish with scallions and avocado.
This dish is a crowd-pleaser. I think most people go bananas for buffalo anything. (And then there are a few weird folk who don’t. We’ll forgive you.) The chicken adds some lean protein, which bulks it up if you’re looking for a heavier app. The buffalo sauce gives it a nice kick, and the melted cheese provides that “comfort food” feeling. The creamy avocadoes and crunchy scallions enhance the flavor.
Best served with some ice cold beers Pepsis.
Yum! These look so delicious. I love me some buffalo flavored anything!
I really love buffalo chicken anything also, this looks so good with the melted cheese (especially gorgonzola!).
I want some of these for breakfast now!
Yum! The FoodNetwork magazine had a TON of nacho recipes recently and I’ve had my mouth set on them ever since
Um yea, I could dig in to this dish right now. They would go great with the banana I just ate for breakfast right?!
I don’t need football to eat this!
I am a huge fan of buffalo chicken! This looks incredible. I am definitely bookmarking this recipe. I MUST make it! So yum! I like the addition of avocado on top!
Can I just say that looks really good?
Buffalo anything rocks! Looks delicious!
I LOVE the buffalo gods. I think they need to visit me this weekend! Buffalo anything is pretty darn delish
I could eat Buffalo anything!! Great photos.
ok..this is a silly question, but since I am pretty new to experimenting with new recipes…what is the best way to shred chicken? My girlfriend uses canned chicken..but that kind of makes me cringe…
Anything with buffalo sauce + avocado is okay with me
this looks so good:) thanks for sharing this.
I’ve been wanting these ever since I saw that on Jessica’s blog. I’ve discovered a new love for Buffalo-anything lately! (posted buffalo chicken chili yesterday–a must make if you love buffalo!)
This was amazing!! My favorite of the night!! I couldn’t peel myself away from the buffalo chicken!
That seriously looks too good to be true.
I wanted to pass an award along to you! Check out my blog =)
Mmmm..I love buffalo chicken and this dip just looks fabulous! Yummy!
Oh yeah! Buffalo chicken nachos, sign me up! I love the garnish of avocado, as well. Good choice!
YUM !! this looks so dang good… buffalo is awesome
Mmm, buffalo chicken gods are the best
These nachos look so savory! And great photos too!
I’m a jelly belly about your ripe avocados! I have 4 super un-ripe ones taunting me from the counter right now
I loveeeee nachos so i am definitely going to make these. Awesome pictures too!
Okay.. admittedly, I’m a dork.. what is buffalo sauce?
I have never made nachos myself…this looks so fabulous!
I love buffalo chicken. I love nachos. I wonder now where this has been all my life.
These nachos look hella good! Wish I could have some right now. For breakfast.
@natalie (the sweets life), I saw it and I am dying to make it!
@Nikki (Pennies on a Platter), It’s so easy, a must make!
@Kristina @ spabettie, Anything buffalo gets me!
@elle marie, Oh man… it’s a sauce used to make buffalo wings, etc… it’s spicy and orange… and delcicious! I reccomend Frank’s Red Hot!
@Angie’s Recipes, Easy! Do it!
@Eliana, I won’t judge!
love the avocado on top!
I bookmarked these over on Jessica’s site too! Yours look amazing, I need to make them soon
@Tracey, So delicious and quite simple!
@erin, Canned chicken makes me cring, too! You can poach or bake the chicken and then shred it. I prefer baking it and then using two forks. My first attempt at poaching was unsuccessful.
Those look so good! I am a HUGE fan of avocado and pretty much anything that is Mexican inspired!
You’re on a roll with the buffalo chicken recipes – I love it! Avocado and melted cheese make everything better
Yep, I am definitely a fan of buffalo flavored anything! And these nachos look great! Awesome pics!
Buffalo chicken and nachos are two of my favorite snacks
Together they are fantastic!
such a good idea! Love the avocado on top
We are on the same page – I just posted something buffalo chicken as well!
@Bianca @ Confessions of a Chocoholic, I dreamed up another idea for buffalo chicken- stay tuned!
WOW – I am SOOOOOO hungry now after seeing your post! These look and sounds amazing. I wish I had all of the ingredients right now to make it – I think this will be a weekend must make!
@Lisa { AuthenticSuburbanGourmet }, It’s so quick, too!
Oh! Oh!! Ohh!!!! This is simply amazing. Can you see my 14 year old son sitting down and not sharing this one? I would have to make two so we could all have some. Definitely saving this one!
I would SO be in heaven with these! Such a nacho person! Especially when they look as yummy and tasty as these, wooo!
Awesome nachos. I would have to hide them from my husband if I wanted to get any.
These look great – but I have a fear of the word ‘buffalo.’ And it’s not that Im scared of the pretty mid-lands roaming beast. But I always imagine sopping wet wings. These nachos don’t look that way at all! They look crispy and yet not dry. I love the avocado on top! (forgive my buffalo reference, its late and I feel my words may not make much sense on paper… )
When I saw this I knew i had to read this and perhaps try is soon! i love me some buffalo Chicken and I love nacho’s. Take off the avocado and it loos like heaven to me!!
It would be totally appropriate to eat this whole dish for dinner, right? Looks delish
Wow! What a great recipe – I know I would devour this one
