Anybody Else Not Like the Jerk Chicken Nachos

[akggirl]

I LOVE the nachos! I keep the peppers mix in my fridge & just pop some tortillas w/ cheese in the oven EVERYDAY for lunch!!

I love this idea for lunch!!! We always have tortillas in my house and I get so sick of eating last nights dinner for lunch this is perfect! Thanx!:love:

My family did not like them at all. They thought I had lost my mind when I set them in front of them. Your not alone!

I really think it's the thyme that people are objecting to...not the cilantro that is added to finish the recipe.

Traditional jerk seasoning doesn't have cilantro.

If you have a spice bottle of thyme, smell that, then smell the PC jerk rub.
That is the objectionable smell, to me.

Chicken chops better with the Food Chopper if it's cold, because it firms it up. If possible, use chicken that's been in the fridge for a couple of hours.

Plus...make sure you are striking down on the chopper handle quickly and "like you mean it!" Some things (chicken, peppers, etc.) you really have to strike down hard enough that it cuts THROUGH it, not smashes INTO it.

Hope that made sense! Usually when someone is having trouble with their food chopper, it's either they are overloading it or not hitting it hard enough...

My family and I LOVE the jerk nachos! They aren't too big of fans of cilantro, so I only use a bit and add extra to mine. At a show, I would do the same thing...add a small bit to the entire recipe, and then serve extra on the side for those who love it. I always make extra sour cream sauce, too...I don't think it's possible to go overboard on sour cream!!

Chopped tomatoes would be a super addition to this recipe! Thanks for posting that idea!

I haven't made the Jerk Chicken Nachos Yet, I was hoping to this weekend for a new twist. I will watch the Cilantro, hubby tends to put lots of that.

But what I will say is my family LOVES the Jerk Seasoning. I sprinkle it on London Broil, my kids actually complain when I don't use it. BIZARRE, my kids are finicky eaters. I am going to go sniff it when I go downstairs I had no idea it had Thyme in it. We also love that too. We are a spice loving family!!!

I tried doing the chicken with the food chopper but it... didn't really chop at all... just sortof mushed the chicken together and didn't look very appetizing!

The salad choppers work wonders. I took the hot chicken straight from the pan right into a bowl and chopped away! I also grilled the red peppers and chopped those too. Works better than trying to cut them into small peices.

I posted yesterday of my verison: Jerk Chicken Tacos. Much better with taco shells than soft shells though.

I have had the Jerk Chicken Nachos at two shows and I've fixed them at home for my family and even my picky DS loved them. I really like the jerk seasoning too, it's really good on grilled chicken.
