Layered Baked Buffalo Chicken Nachos.
If you follow our What We Ate page, then you know that last week Mr. How Sweet and I had buffalo chicken sandwiches for dinner one night.
This was a repeat offender, as it was the meal that Mr. How Sweet made for me one Friday night after declaring he wanted to cook dinner. Which never happens… ever. Unless it is ground turkey or eggs.
Along with this meal comes a homemade blue cheese dressing and a butter + buffalo wing sauce mix. Last time we made it, I put it on everything I could get my hands on, including grilled cheese.
One day last week, I started thinking how delicious the blue cheese dressing and buffalo sauce would be on crispy chips with melted cheese. So I made a snack.
Four days in a row. Until both the blue cheese dressing and buffalo wing sauce were gone.
The combination was so delicious! I couldn’t wait to make it for Mr. How Sweet, but knew the dish wouldn’t fly unless I used chicken. We had some left over from the chicken we roasted, so you can surely say that this is one hodgepodge of a dish.
Don’t feel compelled to follow the recipe, but I have included one as usual. I urge you to just throw a bunch of chicken, cheeses, buffalo sauce, and scallions on a plate and go to town.
This time around I baked my tortilla chips, because I think I ate my yearly quota of Tostitos by Friday. The baked ones are incredible and make the perfect vehicle for shoveling cheese, chicken and buffalo wing sauce into your mouth. They aren’t necessary of course.
And I added some avocado on top for a creamy and cooling factor. I also felt like spending my entire life savings on a bruised avocado that was on it’s last leg. Some women have issues with “saving” men. I have issues with saving food.
Baked Layered Buffalo Chicken Nachos
8 whole wheat tortillas
4-5 ounces of shredded chicken
1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
1- 2 ounces crumbled gorgonzola
1/4 cup buffalo wing sauce (or more)
1/4 cup chopped scallions
avocado for garnish
olive oil for spritzing
Preheat the oven to 450.
Cut the tortillas into wedges and spritz with olive oil then sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. (You can also skip this step and use tortilla chips.) Once finished, add a layer to the bottom of a baking dish, then top with chicken, cheese, buffalo wing sauce and your other toppings. Continue layering until chips and ingredients are gone. Bake for 5-10 minutes, until cheese melts. Drizzle additional wing sauce over top and garnish with more scallions and avocado.
I’m full.

You seriously come up with the most wonderful and delicious looking food creations. And this is no exception. I could go for this right this very second!
Ditto to Eliana! I make this dip all the time but have never once thought to turn it into nachos!
You definitely think outside of the box!
This would be perfect for the Super Bowl next Sunday!!
Oh God yes!
Dare I say it Mrs. Sweet??…I do believe you are quickly becoming my favorite blog. Beautiful eats, TASTY, and just a nice simplicity and “sweetness” about it…we need more of that in life.
At least I sure do. (Especially when it’s Sunday night and I have to muster all that I have to get through the week…)
ZOMG! That looks so good! I love blue cheese—eat it by the spoon and handful.
Buffalo chicken and nachos in one! This is going on my family’s Super Bowl Menu for sure! :-)
There are so many things going RIGHT for this dish.
This looks great. I like how you used tortillas instead of pre-packaged tortilla chips.
Those are totally mouthwatering…I need to make those RIGHT NOW!!
Appetizer? What? Who could stop at an appetizer size serving of this? Certainly not I. I want a full-blown platter thankyouverymuch.

ow! That looks gorgeous. Who wouldn’t want to come home to that? Nachos for dinner is such an awesome treat. I just bought an avocado Friday and I plan to use it for din din tonight.
I make a yummy buffalo chicken wing dip!!
Oh wow! You make the best food ever!
Hope you have a great Sunday!
You are the queen of so bad, but so good foods!! These look to die for! How would I be able to stop, once I started? :)
Those look AMAZING! I know as soon as I show this to my fiancé he’s going to demand them immediately (as would I). I’ve made buffalo chicken dip and buffalo chicken mac ‘n cheese, and this is totally going on my “to make” list… maybe for next weekend!
I’m pretty sure we’re soul mate. Haha! :]
Its like 2 of my favorite eats gave birth to a delicious food baby. I love it!
Ohmygosh, I have to bring this next weekend…and I’ll probably camp out next to it while the game is on :)
Um, YUM! My husband would smile from ear to ear if I made him these for dinner tonight. Love nachos ALOT!
Had to give you a little buzz on fb because this looks SOOOO good ;)
Thank you! :)
oh my gosh, this look so, so good!!! I am literally gushing to my roommate about these right now. My vegan roommate-don’t think she appreciates the gushing. lol
just what i need for our superbowl party next week, can’t wait to try this!
These nachos look so tasty. I think they’re in my top 5 favorite foods.
Love this idea!! Perfect Super Bowl food :)
Oh these look incredible! I now know what I am having for dinner.
1) YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2) Have you tried the new Tostitos roasted garlic & black bean chips??? O.M.G. I’m drooling at the thought of this combo on those chips.
What?? No! I haven’t even seen them yet!
We have buffalo chicken nachos at least once a week for dinner! Sooo good! But mine never look as pretty as yours so I never thought they were blogworthy. I love buffalo chicken ANYTHING!!
Oh my goodness these look amazing. Thanks for sharing.
You’re full? I’m now STARVING! Which happens pretty much every time I look at your blog. I love anything crunchy and cheesy and spicy and with avocado on top. I make nachos once in a while, but I might have to check out this buffalo sauce you are always tempting us with. I know I love buffalo wings and I LOVE blue cheese, so I know I would love this combo. Yum. Hungry.
These look insanely good. So good I want to forget about my healthy salmon dish tonight, and just make a big ole dish of these.
To eat all by myself.
This would be so good with black beans! Yum! Also, love your elegant, white casserole dish.
Reminds me of this amazing buffalo chicken dip my aunt makes. It’s soooo good, it’s usually gone before you can double-dip!
they look..amazing! and the photography is a work of art too :)
What a great idea! I was trying to come up with some good dinner ideas today that isn’t a whole lot of work and this hit the spot! I just sent my hubby to the store to get the fixings :) Great idea!
Enjoy!
Totally hit the spot! The avocados in the store were sorry looking so we did without them but otherwise this was a great dinner :) We bought one of the store-bought rotisserie chickens and shred the meat. Way cheaper than buying boneless chicken breasts!
This may turn into one of my “feeling lazy” dinner delights :)
Thank you for yet another winning buffalo chicken idea! I am becoming a better cook (in my husbands mind) with each buffalo chicken concoction that comes out of the oven…
oh my goodness do those look just delish…
by the way, please tell me you have some spectacular superbowl recipes on the way….
LOL. I guess I sort of considered this one of them?
lol yeah I agree… i guess a post with one of your compilations of menu suggestions that you are fabulous at :)
I’m competing against the best italian sausage in pgh next weekend at our party and i know ur stuff will impress hehe
So good yet so evil…
I NEED these in my life!!!!!!!!! We absolutely love anything buffalo chicken!
This is an excellent twist on my very favorite snack food!
I usually always make buffalo chicken dip but never thought to make nachos! I can’t wait to try this!!
Perfect for a superbowl party!!
Mmm these nachos look AMAZING! Too bad I don’t have ANY of those ingredients in the house right now :(
“Some women have issues with “saving” men. I have issues with saving food.”
hahaha love it! These look sooo good, and I don’t even like nachos very much.
Oh my! If I could climb through my computer and eat this, I would!
