directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, combine sour cream and jerk sauce. Set aside until serving.

Step 2

Layer about ⅓ of the tortilla chips on a round baking tray or skillet. Top with about ⅓ of cheese, fried chicken, pineapple, red onion and jalapeno peppers. Then repeat with another layer — ⅓ of the tortilla chips, cheese, chicken, pineapple, onion and jalapenos. Place the nachos in the oven to bake for 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted.

Step 3

Remove the nachos and make another layer using the remaining ingredients, forming a pyramid. Return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and tortilla chips are beginning to brown.

Step 4

To serve, spoon a large dollop of the jerk sour cream on the top of the nachos and sprinkle with green onions. Enjoy!
