📝 Preparation Steps
1
Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with the taco seasoning and chili powder. Rub in the seasonings as much as you can.
2
Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts on both sides until deep golden and totally done in the middle, about ⏱️ 4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes.
3
In the same skillet, whisk in the tomato sauce, hot water, and several dashes of hot sauce and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and keep warm. Taste and adjust the seasonings (you may need to add a little salt, depending on the taco seasoning you use).

4
Shred the chicken using two forks, then transfer the shredded chicken to the sauce. Toss to coat it in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more hot water and allow to simmer for a few minutes.
5
To build the nachos, layer the chips, cheese, and shredded chicken on a heat-proof dish in several layers, ending with a small layer on top. Microwave the dish (or place it in a 350ºF oven if oven-proof) until the cheese is totally melted.
