Ingredients

  • 2 ears of corn, shucked
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar (4 ounces)
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons gochujang
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic
  • 10 ounces corn tortilla chips
  • 2 roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • ½ cup chopped cilantro
  • ½ cup chopped kimchi
  • ½ cup chopped scallions, 2 scallions
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF (204ºC) with rack set in middle position. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or coat with nonstick spray.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Coat corn with nonstick spray and cook in skillet until charred on all sides, 10 minutes. Transfer corn to a cutting board to cool slightly; cut kernels from cobs.
  • Mix mayonnaise, soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil and garlic together for the sauce. In a medium bowl, toss together chicken and ¼ cup of the sauce.
  • Place tortilla chips in a single layer on prepared baking sheet.
  • Top chips with corn, chicken mixture, and cheese. Bake until chicken is heated through and cheese is melted, about 6 minutes.
  • Meanwhile combine tomatoes, cilantro, kimchi, and scallions.
  • Top nachos with tomato mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Drizzle nachos with additional gochujang sauce and serve immediately.

Notes

  • This recipe is gluten-free.
  • To make these paleo: use grain-free tortilla chips such as Siete and skip the cheese.
  • To make these vegetarian: skip the chicken and use plain prepared jackfruit or rinse and drained black beans instead.
