Angel's Light and Airy Nachos

I saw this on Good Things Utah. I tried it and we loved it. An easy and delicious twist on a classic favorite.
  • 1 pkg (12 oz.) wonton skins, cut skins in half
  • Oil for deep frying
  • 1 (10 oz.) jar Alfredo Sauce (I just use the packets, their cheaper)
  • 1 cup shredded Pepper Jack
  • Chopped or shredded cooked chicken (option fried hamburger or chorizo)
  • 1 large tomato, seeded and chopped
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced green onion
  • Chopped black olives
  • Additional shredded cheese and chopped jalapenos

Put 2 inches of oil in large deep skillet and heat to 300 degrees. Add wonton skin strips in batches, separating them as they’re added and begin to fry until crispy (should be barely light brown). Remove batches from oil and drain on paper towel. When finished with all skins, set aside to cool.

Blend Alfredo sauce with pepper jack until melted – add a bit of milk if mixture becomes to thick.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread one layer of fried wontons onto large ovenproof platter then drizzle sauce over top. Sprinkle with chopped meat, chopped tomato and green onion. Repeat layers. Top with cheese of your choice and a sprinkling of chopped olives.

Place platter in preheated oven and bake until cheese is melted (4-7 minutes).

Top with chopped jalapeño peppers before serving.
