For extra flavor, try grilling the chicken before chopping it and adding it to the nachos. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or add other toppings like black beans, corn, or diced tomatoes. If you prefer spicier nachos, consider using a spicier cheese blend or adding a dash of hot sauce.
