Have You Tried Jerk Chicken Nachos with Chipotle Rub?

[amy07]

I'm sure one of you great cheffers has already done this, but last night for my meeting I had intentions of making the jerk chicken nachos. The only problem I had was that i didn't have any of the rub:yuck: (found this out 20 minutes prior to meeting starting). So I used the Chipotle Rub instead and they were awesome! All my team actually preferred them that way since it had a kick to it. we also had the mojitos with it so it went well!

Sounds yummy, might have to try it myself.

We have incorporated the recipe into tacos and it's really good.

Great idea! I don't like the jerk rub, so this is a great substitute!

I just did the Jerk Chicken Nachos and I did not like the seasoning! I like the idea of using a sub! Thanks for sharing!

I don't like the jerk seasoning either - so this is great for me!

Amy - did you do everything else the same way? The chicken, red pepper, lime, cilantro, etc...?

I have done the nachos with South West Seasoning too...it is very good. I like the jerk seasoning too though.

I have tried the Chipotle seasoning on chicken and sprinkled on plain cheese nacho and I really like it...spicy!!

i dont like spicey so the jerk is just the right amount of spice for me. i think the chipotle would be too much for my mouth. but the southwest seasoning subsitute sounds really good melonie! i might try that for dinner tonight..

I didn't have as much lime as the recipe calls for since one of my gals borrowed my citrus press and forgot to bring it back so I had to hand squeeze it. But everything else was the same.

Oh, also I used the mix 'n chop on the chicken and minced it up real fine. everyone really seemed to like that better too. Honestly I did that since it just didn't look like "enough" being diced.

Actually, the SW is hotter than the chipotle. I am not a big fan of hot foods, and the chipotle rub is one of my favs!

Am I the only one wondering how fun her meeting was with MOJITOS being served?! (I'm sure you left the rum out, right?)

We had the Mojitos at my meeting last week, but no rum. My sister consultant made them using a blood orange instead of a regular one, and they were pink - perfect for HWC month!

I tried this yesterday and it was yummy. I never dice my chicken though. I don't like big pieces. I find the food chopper works perfect for getting the chicken in little pieces.
