Chicken and Mexican Street Corn Nachos

It is that time of year again, football season! And in our house, we have a major battle of the teams. So every weekend we gear up and have friends over to enjoy the game. And let’s be honest, what refreshment goes better with the football game then a delicious plateful of nachos paired with some refreshing Coca-Cola. So while looking for fun, new snacks, I came across a great nacho popcorn recipe at www.coke.com/playpauserefresh for Chicken and Mexican Street Corn Nachos! These delicious nachos combine corn, blue tortilla chips, and corn, then topped with a tasty mixture of cheese. It is the perfect snack to pair with our delicious Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, DASANI, and Powerade.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoon butter

• 3 cups fresh or frozen corn

• 2 teaspoon chili powder

• 2 tablespoons mayo

• 1 (9-oz.) bag blue corn tortilla chips 2 cups pulled rotisserie chicken

• 8 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese

• 2 tablespoons sour cream

• 1 lime, cut into wedges

• 1⁄4 cup Cotija cheese (or can use feta cheese) 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

What to do:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter in a heavy bottomed or cast-iron skillet over medium high heat. Add the corn and chili powder and allow corn to char slightly before stirring. Remove from heat and stir in mayo.
  • Place tortilla chips on a baking sheet in an even layer and sprinkle with chicken and shredded cheese. Bake for 7-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.

  • While the chips are baking, whisk together sour cream and lime juice from half of the lime wedges.
  • Arrange tortilla-chicken and cheese mixture on a large serving platter. Top tortilla chips with corn mixture, cojita and cilantro. Drizzle with the sour cream mixtures. Serve with remaining lime wedges.

These nachos are the absolute perfect snack for the big game! Between 4 adults we had more than enough and continued to snack on them throughout the game. So if you are looking for something tasty for your next football party, these Chicken and Mexican Street Corn Nachos are a must!!
