How to Make Nachos on a Blackstone

Step 1 Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface.

Step 2 Cook the chicken: Add diced chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally until fully cooked. - You can shred it or dice it, it doesn't matter!

Step 3 Add the BBQ sauce: Lower the heat slightly and stir in the BBQ sauce to coat the chicken. Let it caramelize for a minute or two.

Step 4 Heat toppings: Move the chicken aside and warm the corn and black beans on the griddle.

Step 5: Assemble nachos: On a clean griddle area, spread out the tortilla chips. Sprinkle with cheese, then layer on the BBQ chicken, black beans, corn, onions, and jalapeños. Store leftovers in an air tight container.
