We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Peheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet (such as a 'half-sheet pan') with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the tortilla chips out onto the baking sheet, and shake pan to distribute pile evenly.

  • Step 2: In a bowl, combine the bottled cayenne pepper sauce, melted butter and 1/4 cup of the prepared blue cheese salad dressing and mix well. Add the shredded cooked chicken and toss well to coat.

  • Step 3: Sprinkle the red onion, tomato, black olives and jalapeno slices over the tortilla chips. Sprinkle the buffalo chicken over the tortilla chips and top with the crumbled bacon.

  • Step 4: In a small bowl, combine the shredded Mexican cheese blend with the Monterey Jack cheese and mix well. Evenly sprinkle cheese over the entire pile of covered chips.

  • Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cheeses are melted and lightly browned. Remove from oven and drizzle with the remaining 1/2 cup of blue cheese salad dressing. Serve with cold beer:)
