Smoky grilled chicken, melty cheese, and a spicy, creamy chipotle ranch come together over crispy tortilla chips for the ultimate nacho experience. We’re building it all on the Yoder Smokers YS640s pellet grill with the wood fired oven attachment, for a one-pan dish that brings the heat and the flavor.

Chicken breasts are tenderized with a meat mallet, marinated in Sweetwater Spice Tres Chiles Fajita Bath, and grilled in cast iron over open flame. Seasoned with Cattleman’s Grill Mexicano and seared to perfection in Cornhusker Kitchen Duck Fat, the chicken gets diced and layered over tortilla chips with Rancho Gordo Midnight Black Beans and a heaping handful of pepper jack cheese. It all bakes until bubbly, then gets topped with Holme’s Made Roasted Green Chile Salsa, crisp romaine, and our bold, homemade chipotle ranch dressing.
