250g (9 oz) tortilla chips
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 large onion, halved, peeled, thinly sliced
2 large capsicums (bell peppers), trimmed, deseeded, thinly sliced
sea salt
1/4 cup sweet chilli sauce (you could also use hot sauce or BBQ sauce here)
1/2 a rotisserie-cooked chicken, cooled, meat shredded
200g (7 oz) grated mozzarella cheese
1 tbsp unsalted roasted peanuts
handful coriander (cilantro) leaves or thinly sliced spring onion (scallions), to serve
Peanut nacho sauce:
1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
1 tbsp dark sweet soy sauce
½ tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
- For the peanut nacho sauce, add the ingredients to a bowl, along with 3 tablespoons of hot water. Whisk to combine, then set aside for later.
- Preheat the oven grill to high. Meanwhile, scatter the tortilla chips in an even layer in the base of a large baking dish.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often, or until softened. Add the capsicum, increase the heat to medium-high, then cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until very tender. Season with salt. Spoon the capsicum mix over the tortilla chips, then drizzle over the sweet chilli sauce.
- Scatter the shredded chicken over the chips. Spoon over the peanut sauce, then scatter over the mozzarella and peanuts.
- Place under the hot oven grill for 5 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and golden. Scatter with coriander or spring onion, then serve.
